Real tax rate
35.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.8% tax rate now rises to 35.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 13,168,512 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 3,797,636 円. That means that your net pay will be 9,370,876 円 per year, or 780,906 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.8% 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.
