Summary
If you make 46,206,144 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 17,244,983 円. That means that your net pay will be 28,961,161 円 per year, or 2,413,430 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.3% 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.
