Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 9,937,008 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,629,233 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,307,775 円 per year, or 608,981 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.5% and your marginal tax rate is 33.1%. 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 33.09 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 66.91 円.
