Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 32,497 円 to pay you 490,385 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.4% tax rate now rises to 37.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 25,500,020 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 8,512,475 円. That means that your net pay will be 16,987,545 円 per year, or 1,415,629 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.4% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41.02 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.98 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 590 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,949 円 of net incomes.
