Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 72,781 円 to pay you 1,457,557 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.04 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.5% tax rate now rises to 38.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 34,981,368 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 12,401,485 円. That means that your net pay will be 22,579,883 円 per year, or 1,881,657 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.5% 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
