Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 231,491 円 to pay you 17,236,560 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.55 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.9%
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 206,838,720 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 91,300,150 円. That means that your net pay will be 115,538,570 円 per year, or 9,628,214 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.
Bonus Example
