¥15 Million — Executive and Foreign-Company Level
An annual salary of ¥15,000,000 is typical for corporate executives, foreign company directors/VPs, established physicians, and senior law firm partners. Monthly take-home is approximately ¥873,000, but the deduction rate reaches about 30%. The income tax rate enters the 33% bracket, meaning for every additional ¥1M earned, only about ¥600,000 reaches your bank account.
Resident Tax Impact and Tax Filing
Annual resident tax at ¥15M exceeds ¥1 million. If you have income beyond salary (side business, stock dividends, rental income), tax filing (kakutei shinkoku) becomes necessary. Even below ¥20M salary, filing is worthwhile to claim medical deductions and furusato nozei credits (limit ~¥379,000). Some high earners at this level explore micro-corporation structures for income splitting and tax optimization. Professional tax advice from a certified zeirishi is highly recommended.
