Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 655,948,800 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 298,372,076 円. That means that your net pay will be 357,576,724 円 per year, or 29,798,060 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.5% 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.
