Real tax rate
35.1%

Summary
If you make 8,998,656 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,369,323 円. That means that your net pay will be 6,629,333 円 per year, or 552,444 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 27.48 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 72.52 円.
