Summary
If you make 41,480,352 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 15,077,405 円. That means that your net pay will be 26,402,947 円 per year, or 2,200,246 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.4% and your marginal tax rate is 45.9%. 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 45.87 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 54.13 円.
