Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 9,768,480 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,580,849 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,187,631 円 per year, or 598,969 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 27.47 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 72.53 円.
