Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 43,888 円 to pay you 2,388,920 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.47 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.8% tax rate now rises to 43.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 124,223,840 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 53,208,771 円. That means that your net pay will be 71,015,069 円 per year, or 5,917,922 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 42.8% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
Bonus Example
