Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 110,038 円 to pay you 913,510 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.92 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.2% tax rate now rises to 35.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 10,962,120 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,977,868 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,984,252 円 per year, or 665,354 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.2% and your marginal tax rate is 37.2%. 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 37.16 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 62.84 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 628 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,142 円 of net incomes.
