Real tax rate
40.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.4% tax rate now rises to 40.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 53,090,592 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 20,411,247 円. That means that your net pay will be 32,679,345 円 per year, or 2,723,279 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.5% 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.
