Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.1% tax rate now rises to 44.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 204,368,328 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 90,161,122 円. That means that your net pay will be 114,207,206 円 per year, or 9,517,267 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.1% 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.
