Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41% tax rate now rises to 42.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 78,951,600 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 32,335,025 円. That means that your net pay will be 46,616,575 円 per year, or 3,884,715 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.0% 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.
