Real tax rate
35.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.3% tax rate now rises to 35.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 7,857,204 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,062,520 円. That means that your net pay will be 5,794,684 円 per year, or 482,890 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.3% and your marginal tax rate is 25.7%. 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 25.74 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 74.26 円.
