⚠️ This is an estimate, not a payslip

This tool approximates annual income × contribution rates. Differences from your actual payslip come from:

① Social insurance is actually assessed monthly on the "standard remuneration" grade table; this tool approximates it from annual income (the pension cap of ¥650k/month and health cap of ¥1.39M/month are applied); ② It does not include dependent deductions, spouse deduction, iDeCo, hometown tax (furusato nozei), mortgage deductions, or life insurance deductions — with those, your real take-home would be higher; ③ Resident tax is billed on the previous year's income: you pay almost none in your first year in Japan, and it starts coming out of your salary from June of year two; ④ The temporary basic-deduction top-ups (¥950k / 880k / 680k / 630k) are time-limited 2025–2026 measures and are scheduled to return to ¥580k from 2027. For exact figures, rely on your payslip and resident tax notice.

🧾 How the three deductions work

Social insurance: about 14.7% – 15.5%

Employee share (FY2026, Tokyo Kyokai Kenpo): health insurance 9.85% + child-rearing support levy 0.23%, split 50/50 with your employer → about 5.04%; employees' pension 18.3% split 50/50 → 9.15%; employment insurance 0.5%. Ages 40–64 also pay nursing care insurance (1.62% split → 0.81%). Total ≈ 14.7% of gross (under 40) / 15.5% (40–64).

Income tax: progressive rates after deductions

First the employment income deduction applies (minimum ¥650k after the 2025 reform), then full social insurance and the basic deduction (¥580k standard, temporarily raised to ¥630k–950k by income band for 2025–2026). The remaining taxable income is taxed at seven progressive brackets from 5% to 45%, plus the 2.1% reconstruction surtax.

Resident tax: a flat 10% + ¥5,000

Taxable income (with a smaller ¥430k basic deduction) × 10% income levy + ¥5,000 flat levy (incl. forest environment tax). Based on the previous year's income, collected from your salary in 12 installments starting each June.
