Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 30,494 円 to pay you 207,654 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.38 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.1% tax rate now rises to 29.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,491,848 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 476,389 円. That means that your net pay will be 2,015,459 円 per year, or 167,955 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.1% and your marginal tax rate is 23.1%. 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 23.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 76.89 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 769 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,845 円 of net incomes.
