How much tax do foreign engineers ACTUALLY pay in Japan?

How much tax do you ACTUALLY take home as a foreign engineer in Japan? 🇯🇵

Most people look at the salary number and assume that's what hits their bank account. It's not. Japan has 3 separate deductions that together take roughly 26% of your paycheck — and one of them blindsides almost everyone in their second year.

In this video I break it all down using a ¥350,000/month salary as the example:
→ Income tax 所得税 — the national progressive tax
→ Resident tax 住民税 — the one that hits you in year 2
→ Social insurance 社会保険 — health + pension combined

Real numbers. No fluff.
