Summary
If you make 980,590,752 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 448,055,276 円. That means that your net pay will be 532,535,476 円 per year, or 44,377,956 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.7% 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
