Real tax rate
42.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40.4% tax rate now rises to 42.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 70,844,220 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 28,596,942 円. That means that your net pay will be 42,247,278 円 per year, or 3,520,607 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 40.4% 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
