Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 6,429,263,040 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,960,283,598 円. That means that your net pay will be 3,468,979,442 円 per year, or 289,081,620 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 46.0% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
