Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 28,072 円 to pay you 3,693,511 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.64 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.7% tax rate now rises to 46.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 960,312,860 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 438,705,715 円. That means that your net pay will be 521,607,145 円 per year, or 43,467,262 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.7% and your marginal tax rate is 46.1%. 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 46.11 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.89 円.
Bonus Example
