Real tax rate
36.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.3% tax rate now rises to 36.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 16,020,168 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 4,857,146 円. That means that your net pay will be 11,163,022 円 per year, or 930,252 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.3% 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.
