Money planning
When comparing job offers, include transfer fees and exchange-rate spreads if you will bring savings or support family overseas.
How it works
The calculator combines monthly salary and annual bonus, estimates employee social insurance from standard remuneration and standard bonus bases, applies Japan's salary income deduction, then estimates national income tax and resident tax.
V1 is scoped to regular employees in Tokyo enrolled in Employees' Health Insurance, Employees' Pension, and employment insurance. Care insurance is added for ages 40 to 64.
Use the result to compare job offers, set rent targets, estimate savings, or decide whether a salary package is enough before relocating to Japan.
FAQ

No. This V1 is an estimate for Tokyo employees. Payroll systems use standard remuneration classes, exact bonus handling, company rules, dependents, and other deductions that can change the final amount.
