Real tax rate
37.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.1% tax rate now rises to 37.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 20,746,800 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 6,666,994 円. That means that your net pay will be 14,079,806 円 per year, or 1,173,317 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.1% 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.
