Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 9,556,560 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,522,620 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,033,940 円 per year, or 586,162 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.4% 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.
