Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.1% tax rate now rises to 38.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 39,577,968 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 14,286,894 円. That means that your net pay will be 25,291,074 円 per year, or 2,107,589 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.1% 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.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 590 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,949 円 of net incomes.
