Japan Salary Calculator
Japan's income tax system consists of national and local taxes. The national income tax is progressive, with rates ranging from 5% to 45% (as of 2024), depending on income levels. Additionally, a 2.1% surtax is applied to the national income tax. Local tax includes both prefectural and municipal taxes (known together as the inhabitant's tax), typically set at a 10% flat rate on the previous year's income, plus a small per capita charge.
