Real tax rate
37.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.9% tax rate now rises to 37.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 20,008,560 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 6,383,349 円. That means that your net pay will be 13,625,211 円 per year, or 1,135,434 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.9% 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.
