Summary
If you make 19,475,856 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 6,178,675 円. That means that your net pay will be 13,297,181 円 per year, or 1,108,098 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.7% 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.
