Real tax rate
37.4%

Summary
If you make 23,820,168 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 7,847,837 円. That means that your net pay will be 15,972,331 円 per year, or 1,331,028 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.0% 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.
