Real tax rate
39.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.3% tax rate now rises to 39.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 45,842,064 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 17,077,990 円. That means that your net pay will be 28,764,074 円 per year, or 2,397,006 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.3% and your marginal tax rate is 45.9%. 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 45.86 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 54.14 円.
