Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.2% tax rate now rises to 39.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 45,730,620 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 17,026,874 円. That means that your net pay will be 28,703,746 円 per year, or 2,391,979 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.2% 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.
