Real tax rate
37.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.8% tax rate now rises to 37.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 23,047,488 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 7,550,959 円. That means that your net pay will be 15,496,529 円 per year, or 1,291,377 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.8% 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 38.43 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 61.57 円.
