Real tax rate
35.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.7% tax rate now rises to 35.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 12,902,412 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 3,698,768 円. That means that your net pay will be 9,203,644 円 per year, or 766,970 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.7% and your marginal tax rate is 37.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 円 in your salary will be taxed 37.15 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 62.85 円.
