Real tax rate
43.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.9% tax rate now rises to 43.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 97,493,520 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 40,884,178 円. That means that your net pay will be 56,609,342 円 per year, or 4,717,445 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.9% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
