Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 121,012 円 to pay you 15,242,920 円. In other words, every time you spend 10 円 of your hard-earned money, 4.64 円 goes to the government.
Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.6% tax rate now rises to 46.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 792,631,840 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 361,392,750 円. That means that your net pay will be 431,239,090 円 per year, or 35,936,591 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.
