Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 477,099,996 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 215,909,963 円. That means that your net pay will be 261,190,033 円 per year, or 21,765,836 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.3% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
