Real tax rate
35.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.2% tax rate now rises to 35.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 8,221,380 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,156,248 円. That means that your net pay will be 6,065,132 円 per year, or 505,428 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 25.74 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 74.26 円.
