Real tax rate
35.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.2% tax rate now rises to 35.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 7,826,712 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,053,954 円. That means that your net pay will be 5,772,758 円 per year, or 481,063 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.2% and your marginal tax rate is 31.1%. 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 31.14 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 68.86 円.
