Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 71,254 円 to pay you 485,214 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.90 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.4% tax rate now rises to 34.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,822,568 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,418,339 円. That means that your net pay will be 4,404,229 円 per year, or 367,019 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.4% and your marginal tax rate is 31.9%. 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 31.86 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.14 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 681 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,407 円 of net incomes.
