Real tax rate
35.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.7% tax rate now rises to 35.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 11,572,704 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 3,204,726 円. That means that your net pay will be 8,367,978 円 per year, or 697,332 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.7% and your marginal tax rate is 37.2%. 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 37.15 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 62.85 円.
