Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 1,995,840,036 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 916,157,939 円. That means that your net pay will be 1,079,682,097 円 per year, or 89,973,508 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.9% 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
