Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 236,726 円 to pay you 18,109,143 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.55 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.2% tax rate now rises to 45.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 217,309,716 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 96,128,029 円. That means that your net pay will be 121,181,687 円 per year, or 10,098,474 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.2% 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.
Bonus Example
