@subarshikun: How much tax do foreign engineers ACTUALLY pay in Japan? #japanfinance #engineerinjapan#softwareengineerjapan #japansalary #japantax How much tax do you ACTUALLY take home as a foreign engineer in Japan? ๐ฏ๐ต Most people look at the salary number and assume that's what hits their bank account.

In this video I break it all down using a ยฅ350,000/month salary as the example: โ Income tax ๆๅพ็จ โ the national progressive tax โ Resident tax ไฝๆฐ็จ โ the one that hits you in year 2 โ Social insurance ็คพไผไฟ้บ โ health + pension combined Real numbers. No fluff. ๐ Related videos โ iDeCo: how to legally reduce this tax bill (coming soon) โ Reading your Japanese payslip line by line (coming soon) โ Japan's NISA account explained (coming soon) โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ ๐ About this channel An engineer's honest perspective on money, work, and life in Japan.
