Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 28,726,272 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 9,835,802 円. That means that your net pay will be 18,890,470 円 per year, or 1,574,206 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.2% 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 41.02 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.98 円.
