Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.8% tax rate now rises to 37.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 19,693,440 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 6,262,274 円. That means that your net pay will be 13,431,166 円 per year, or 1,119,264 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.8% 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.
