Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 102,965 円 to pay you 785,731 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.95 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.4% tax rate now rises to 34.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 9,428,772 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,487,507 円. That means that your net pay will be 6,941,265 円 per year, or 578,439 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.
Bonus Example
