Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.6% tax rate now rises to 46.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 867,599,208 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 395,958,079 円. That means that your net pay will be 471,641,129 円 per year, or 39,303,427 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.6% 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 46.10 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 53.90 円.
