Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 172,426 円 to pay you 7,392,407 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.39 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.5% tax rate now rises to 42.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 88,708,884 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 36,833,832 円. That means that your net pay will be 51,875,052 円 per year, or 4,322,921 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.5% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
