Summary
If you make 510,644,160 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 231,376,226 円. That means that your net pay will be 279,267,934 円 per year, or 23,272,328 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
