Your take-home pay is what lands in your bank account after all taxes. Australia uses progressive brackets so only income above each threshold is taxed at the higher rate.
Japan FAQs
What is tedori in Japan?
Tedori (literally "hand-taking") is your net take-home pay after all taxes (income tax, residence tax) and social insurance premiums (health, pension, employment, long-term care) are deducted. It is the amount deposited into your bank account each month.
How often are Japanese employees paid?
Nearly all full-time employees are paid monthly, typically on the 25th of each month. Some companies pay on the 20th, 28th, or last business day. Weekly or fortnightly pay is extremely rare in Japan.
What percentage of salary is tedori?
Most Japanese employees keep approximately 75-80% of their gross salary as tedori. On JPY 4 million gross, tedori is roughly JPY 3.1-3.2 million. Higher earners keep a lower percentage due to progressive income tax.
Does residence tax reduce take-home immediately?
Residence tax (juminzei) is based on the previous year income and deducted from June of the following year in 12 monthly installments. In your first year working in Japan, you pay no residence tax. The following June, deductions begin, temporarily reducing your tedori.
What is the nenshu vs tedori difference?
Nenshu is your annual gross salary (before deductions). Tedori is your annual net take-home. Job ads typically show nenshu. On JPY 5M nenshu, tedori is approximately JPY 3.9M. Always ask whether bonus is included in the advertised nenshu.
Do foreigners in Japan pay the same taxes?
Residents (living in Japan 1+ year) pay the same income tax and social insurance as Japanese citizens. Non-residents (under 1 year) pay a flat 20.42% on Japan-source income. Tax treaty benefits may apply depending on your home country.
