Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 23,991 円 to pay you 185,472 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.93 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.4% tax rate now rises to 34.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 9,644,544 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,546,795 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,097,749 円 per year, or 591,479 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.4% 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
