Real tax rate

Summary
If you make 23,059,968 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 7,555,754 円. That means that your net pay will be 15,504,214 円 per year, or 1,292,018 円 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.8% and your marginal tax rate is 38.4%. 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 38.42 円, hence, your net pay will only increase by 61.58 円.
