Real tax rate
37.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.2% tax rate now rises to 37.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 28,460,640 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 9,726,846 円. That means that your net pay will be 18,733,794 円 per year, or 1,561,149 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 34.2% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. 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 41.02 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.98 円.
Bonus Example
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 590 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,949 円 of net incomes.
