Real tax rate
35.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.8% tax rate now rises to 35.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 7,158,576 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 1,843,933 円. That means that your net pay will be 5,314,643 円 per year, or 442,887 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.8% 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 31.85 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.15 円.
