¥8M Salary: How Family and Bonus Pay Change Your Take-Home
On the same ¥8M salary, claiming a dependent spouse (haigusha kojo) adds about ¥111,000 a year to take-home pay, and turning 40 brings the long-term care premium, which takes about ¥3,758 a month. Paid as 12 monthly salaries plus a 4-month bonus, the monthly take-home is about ¥371,000, and the annual total changes by −¥12,737, because the social-insurance caps (on monthly pay and on each bonus) apply differently — the extra pension contributions do raise your future pension.
