Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 75,008 円 to pay you 1,828,780 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.10 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.9% tax rate now rises to 39.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 43,890,720 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 16,182,968 円. That means that your net pay will be 27,707,752 円 per year, or 2,308,979 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.9% and your marginal tax rate is 45.9%. 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 45.87 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 54.13 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 541 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,707 円 of net incomes.
