Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 22,098 円 to pay you 2,697,853 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.63 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.5% tax rate now rises to 46.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 701,441,780 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 319,347,599 円. That means that your net pay will be 382,094,181 円 per year, or 31,841,182 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.5% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
