Real tax rate
36.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.4% tax rate now rises to 36.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 16,319,676 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 4,968,426 円. That means that your net pay will be 11,351,250 円 per year, or 945,937 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.4% 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.
