How it works
- Gross monthly pay is hourly wage times hours per day times working days per month; gross annual pay is twelve times that. Overtime, bonuses, and commuting allowances are not included.
- If social insurance enrollment is set to enrolled, the employee share of health insurance, pension, and employment insurance is deducted. Health insurance uses the roughly 10 percent national average of Japan Health Insurance Association (about 5 percent for the employee), with about 0.8 percent added as long-term care insurance for ages 40 to 64. Pension is 18.3 percent (9.15 percent for the employee) and employment insurance is 0.6 percent for the employee.
- Choosing employment insurance only deducts employment insurance without health insurance or pension. Choosing not enrolled deducts no social insurance, estimating taxes only.
- Income tax applies Japan progressive rates to taxable income after the employment income deduction, the basic deduction, and social insurance, plus a 2.1 percent special reconstruction surtax, then divides the annual amount by twelve. Resident tax is about 10 percent of taxable income plus a flat per-capita levy, divided by twelve.
- Rates are representative values for fiscal year 2024 (Reiwa 6) and are estimates only. Actual amounts vary by employer, municipality, dependents, deductions, and standard monthly remuneration grade. Confirm exact figures with your pay slip, employer, or local government.
- If you work within a dependent range, the 1.06 million yen threshold (a rough point where social insurance enrollment can begin under certain conditions) and the 1.3 million yen threshold (a rough point for leaving dependent status) affect take-home pay. This tool is an estimate, so treat the thresholds as guidance only.
