Summary
If you make 23,971,821,120 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 11,048,659,797 円. That means that your net pay will be 12,923,161,323 円 per year, or 1,076,930,110 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 46.1% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
