Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 266,693 円 to pay you 23,103,600 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.58 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.6% tax rate now rises to 45.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 277,243,200 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 123,761,660 円. That means that your net pay will be 153,481,540 円 per year, or 12,790,128 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.6% 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
