Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 18,642,732 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 5,858,573 円. That means that your net pay will be 12,784,159 円 per year, or 1,065,347 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.4% and your marginal tax rate is 38.4%. 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 38.42 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 61.58 円.
