Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.5% tax rate now rises to 35.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 11,368,920 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 3,129,011 円. That means that your net pay will be 8,239,909 円 per year, or 686,659 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.5% 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 37.16 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 62.84 円.
