Real tax rate
34.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.2% tax rate now rises to 34.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 6,513,528 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,638,449 円. That means that your net pay will be 4,875,079 円 per year, or 406,257 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.2% and your marginal tax rate is 31.9%. 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 31.86 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.14 円.
Bonus Example
