Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 71,446 円 to pay you 1,234,979 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.02 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.4% tax rate now rises to 38.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 29,639,496 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 10,210,383 円. That means that your net pay will be 19,429,113 円 per year, or 1,619,093 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.5% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41.01 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.99 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 590 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,950 円 of net incomes.
