Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 10,145,592 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,698,251 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,447,341 円 per year, or 620,612 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.6% 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.
