Real tax rate
42.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.1% tax rate now rises to 42.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 81,900,000 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 33,694,448 円. That means that your net pay will be 48,205,552 円 per year, or 4,017,129 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 41.1% 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.
