So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39% tax rate now rises to 41.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 57,607,428 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 22,493,832 円. That means that your net pay will be 35,113,596 円 per year, or 2,926,133 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.1% 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.
