Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 113,045 円 to pay you 967,844 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.94 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.7% tax rate now rises to 35.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 11,614,128 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 3,220,116 円. That means that your net pay will be 8,394,012 円 per year, or 699,501 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.7% 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
