Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.4% tax rate now rises to 45.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 586,560,000 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 266,378,867 円. That means that your net pay will be 320,181,133 円 per year, or 26,681,761 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.4% 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.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 539 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,695 円 of net incomes.
