What is the Japan Take-Home Salary Calculator?
Japanese employees face multiple deductions from gross pay: national income tax (所得税), residence tax (住民税), health insurance (健康保険), welfare pension (厚生年金), and employment insurance (雇用保険). Together these typically reduce a ¥5M gross salary to around ¥3.7M net annually. This calculator provides a close estimate — exact amounts vary by prefecture, health insurance union, and employer.

Frequently asked questions
What percentage of salary is taken in taxes in Japan?
For a ¥5M salary, total deductions are roughly 28-32% of gross pay. This includes ~6% income tax, ~10% residence tax, ~5% health insurance, ~9% pension, and ~0.6% employment insurance.
Is health insurance mandatory in Japan?
Yes. All residents must be enrolled in Japan's public health insurance system. Employees join their company's health insurance society (協会けんぽ or a company fund), which covers medical expenses at 70% (30% self-pay).
What is the welfare pension (厚生年金) rate in Japan?
The welfare pension (厚生年金, kōsei nenkin) contribution rate is 18.3% of standard monthly remuneration, split equally between employee (9.15%) and employer (9.15%). It is capped at a standard remuneration of ¥650,000/month.
Do expats pay into Japanese pension?
Yes, unless covered by a social security totalization agreement. Japan has agreements with about 20 countries. If you contribute for 10+ years you qualify for a Japanese pension; if you leave permanently before that, you can apply for a lump-sum withdrawal (脱退一時金).
How is the bonus taxed differently from monthly salary in Japan?
Bonuses (賞与, shōyo) are subject to a flat provisional withholding rate applied to the bonus amount, using prior month's deduction certificate rate. They also incur social insurance contributions. Use the separate bonus calculator for exact amounts.
