Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 101,564 円 to pay you 760,413 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.97 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.3% tax rate now rises to 35.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 9,124,956 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,404,027 円. That means that your net pay will be 6,720,929 円 per year, or 560,077 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.4% and your marginal tax rate is 27.5%. 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 27.48 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 72.52 円.
