Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 96,943 円 to pay you 676,936 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.06 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.2% tax rate now rises to 35.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 8,123,232 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,130,988 円. That means that your net pay will be 5,992,244 円 per year, or 499,354 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.2% and your marginal tax rate is 25.7%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 円 in your salary will be taxed 25.74 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 74.26 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 743 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,713 円 of net incomes.
