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 39,589,200 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 14,291,501 円. That means that your net pay will be 25,297,699 円 per year, or 2,108,142 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 41.01 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.99 円.
