Real tax rate
37.4%

Summary
If you make 24,432,720 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 8,083,190 円. That means that your net pay will be 16,349,530 円 per year, or 1,362,461 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.1% 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 38.42 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 61.58 円.
