Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 10,973,820 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 2,982,215 円. That means that your net pay will be 7,991,605 円 per year, or 665,967 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.2% and your marginal tax rate is 37.2%. 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 37.15 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 62.85 円.
