Real tax rate
29.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 18.7% tax rate now rises to 29.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 872,640 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 163,545 円. That means that your net pay will be 709,095 円 per year, or 59,091 円 per month.
