Real tax rate
38.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.5% tax rate now rises to 38.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 29,977,056 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 10,348,842 円. That means that your net pay will be 19,628,214 円 per year, or 1,635,685 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.5% 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.
