Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 4,975,488 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,148,496 円. That means that your net pay will be 3,826,992 円 per year, or 318,916 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.1% and your marginal tax rate is 31.9%. 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 31.86 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.14 円.
