Real tax rate
29.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.1% tax rate now rises to 29.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,419,332 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 460,911 円. That means that your net pay will be 1,958,421 円 per year, or 163,202 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.1% and your marginal tax rate is 20.9%. 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 20.85 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 79.15 円.
