Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.2% tax rate now rises to 45.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 451,872,840 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 204,278,436 円. That means that your net pay will be 247,594,404 円 per year, or 20,632,867 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.2% 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.
