Real tax rate
36.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.2% tax rate now rises to 36.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 13,831,056 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 4,043,799 円. That means that your net pay will be 9,787,257 円 per year, or 815,605 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.2% 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.
