Real tax rate
41.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.8% tax rate now rises to 41.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 64,094,112 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 25,484,658 円. That means that your net pay will be 38,609,454 円 per year, or 3,217,454 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.8% 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.
