Real tax rate
35.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.2% tax rate now rises to 35.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 8,156,160 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,139,462 円. That means that your net pay will be 6,016,698 円 per year, or 501,391 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.2% 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 25.73 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 74.27 円.
