Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34% tax rate now rises to 37.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 27,662,220 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 9,399,355 円. That means that your net pay will be 18,262,865 円 per year, or 1,521,905 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.0% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41.01 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.99 円.
