Real tax rate
40.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.9% tax rate now rises to 40.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 56,287,788 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 21,885,383 円. That means that your net pay will be 34,402,405 円 per year, or 2,866,867 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.9% 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
