Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 48,929 円 to pay you 346,732 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.03 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.2% tax rate now rises to 35.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 8,321,568 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,183,279 円. That means that your net pay will be 6,138,289 円 per year, or 511,524 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.2% and your marginal tax rate is 27.5%. 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 27.48 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 72.52 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 725 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 3,626 円 of net incomes.
