Real tax rate
29.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.1% tax rate now rises to 29.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 2,459,059 円 a year living in Japan, you will be taxed 469,194 円. That means that your net pay will be 1,989,865 円 per year, or 165,822 円 per month.
