Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 69,620 円 to pay you 945,360 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.7% tax rate now rises to 37.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 22,688,640 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 7,413,084 円. That means that your net pay will be 15,275,556 円 per year, or 1,272,963 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.7% and your marginal tax rate is 38.4%. 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 38.42 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 61.58 円.
Bonus Example
