I’ll need to pay over 3 million yen in taxes in April for the final tax return, and 1.2M yen will be additional burden as resident tax in 2026.
It’s unexpected, but the trick is the share price of my company.
I kept receiving RSU for several years, and the amount is based on the price at the time of granting.
But the income is calculated based on the price at the time of vesting.
So if prices increased 2 times from the time of the grant, the salary amount by RSU will also double.
In the end, my 2025 annual income is expected to be slightly short of 30 million yen.
And I’ll need to sell the stocks to make money, because 3M yen is too much to pay from my available cash.
I understand this situation is fortunate, because more tax means more income.
But anyway, I’ll need to continue to work, and travelling to Hawaii is still too expensive for me even with this saraly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
