Real tax rate
33.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24% tax rate now rises to 33.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 5,521,548 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,322,447 円. That means that your net pay will be 4,199,101 円 per year, or 349,925 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.0% 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.
