Assumed that you receive salary of 5 million yen per a year from your company. Calculation formula is like this.
5 million yen × 20% + 540,000 yen = 1.54 million yen. (This 20% and 540,000 is stipulated by act) This is deductible amount (Kyuyo shotoku kojo) from your salary amount. So, 5 million yen – 1.54 million yen = 3.46 million yen. Moreover, you can use deduction of 380,000 yen (basic deduction). (If you have spouse etc, you can apply for another deduction, too) So, 3.46 million yen – 380,000 yen = 3,080,000 yen is your taxable income as salaried income earner.
