Real tax rate
34.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.8% tax rate now rises to 34.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 10,467,720 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,804,840 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,662,880 円 per year, or 638,573 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.8% 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.
