A Japanese calculator for the many meanings of “扶養”
This trial calculator helps people in Japan estimate income limits related to family tax deductions, health insurance, and support programs.
- For
- Japanese part-time workers checking family-dependency income limits
- Worth noticing
- It shows resident-tax-free salary ceilings only for 15 municipalities whose rules it says it checked; national-health-insurance estimates cover four cities.
Field notes
The form offers example cases for a university student, a student in a single-parent household, a part-time worker, and a high-school student. Users can choose a municipality across all 47 prefectures, but the page withholds resident-tax-free salary amounts where it says local rules remain unverified. Its examples and guidance distinguish tax-year income from health-insurance income forecasts, and refer users to official agencies or employers for individual determinations.
