Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 47,828,400 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 17,989,063 円. That means that your net pay will be 29,839,337 円 per year, or 2,486,611 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.6% 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.
