So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46.1% tax rate now rises to 46.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 16,299,884,448 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 7,511,347,297 円. That means that your net pay will be 8,788,537,151 円 per year, or 732,378,096 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 46.1% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
