Field notes
Users choose a municipality and compare gross pension income with estimated take-home after insurance premiums and taxes, shown by month and year. The site distinguishes official figures from estimates rather than treating nationwide coverage as uniform: it reports complete item-level checks for 228 municipalities, against a stated goal of 871. For people aged 75 and over, it says prefecture-level official figures are used nationwide for the relevant health-insurance charge.
