Real tax rate
40.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39% tax rate now rises to 40.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 57,274,880 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 22,340,504 円. That means that your net pay will be 34,934,376 円 per year, or 2,911,198 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.0% 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
A 1,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 539 円 of net incomes. A 5,000 円 bonus will generate an extra 2,695 円 of net incomes.
