Real tax rate
35.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.3% tax rate now rises to 35.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 8,922,576 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,348,419 円. That means that your net pay will be 6,574,157 円 per year, or 547,846 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.3% and your marginal tax rate is 27.5%. 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 27.47 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 72.53 円.
