Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.2% tax rate now rises to 38.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 33,685,600 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 11,869,993 円. That means that your net pay will be 21,815,607 円 per year, or 1,817,967 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.2% 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 41.01 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 58.99 円.
Bonus Example
