Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 108,227 円 to pay you 880,800 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.91 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.9% tax rate now rises to 34.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 10,569,600 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,838,551 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,731,049 円 per year, or 644,254 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.9% and your marginal tax rate is 33.1%. 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 33.09 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 66.91 円.
Bonus Example
