Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 31,311 円 to pay you 213,216 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 3.39 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.2% tax rate now rises to 29.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,558,592 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 491,815 円. That means that your net pay will be 2,066,777 円 per year, or 172,231 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.2% and your marginal tax rate is 23.1%. 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 23.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 76.89 円.
