Field notes
The inputs account for expenses, work months, age over 40, blue-return filing, and whether individual business tax is included. Explanatory sections discuss progressive income-tax thresholds and compare freelancer take-home pay with the gross employee salary needed to reach the same amount. The page cautions that results are estimates, excludes several deductions, and may be off by thousands of yen for municipalities outside its stated coverage.
