Total tax paid
¥8,654,149
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 241,952 円 to pay you 18,980,000 円. In other words, every time you spend ¥10 of your hard-earned money, ¥4.56 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.3% tax rate now rises to 45%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make 227,760,000 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 100,946,359 円. That means that your net pay will be 126,813,641 円 per year, or 10,567,803 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.3% 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 in your salary will be taxed ¥46.1, hence, your net pay will only increase by ¥53.9.

Bonus Example

A ¥1,000 bonus will generate an extra ¥539 of net incomes. A ¥5,000 bonus will generate an extra ¥2,695 of net incomes.
