Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.9% tax rate now rises to 44.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 184,394,076 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 80,951,561 円. That means that your net pay will be 103,442,515 円 per year, or 8,620,210 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.9% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
