Summary
If you make 34,328,448 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 12,133,673 円. That means that your net pay will be 22,194,775 円 per year, or 1,849,565 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.4% 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.
