Current modeled profile: Tokyo · under age 40 · 2026 · Tokyo, under age 40 (hybrid-estimate)
How this calculation works
Hybrid estimate: models statutory employee social contributions alongside separately identified income tax or withholding.
The calculator applies profile jp-2026-tokyo-standard-employee (version 2026.2), lists each modeled deduction separately, and subtracts those deductions from gross annual pay. Monthly and weekly values are annual estimates divided by 12 and 52.

What changed this tax year?
This page uses only the current, reviewed 2026 · Tokyo, under age 40 profile shown above. Formulexa does not silently reuse current rules for a previous-year comparison: a numerical year-over-year result will appear only after a separate archived profile and regression fixtures have been verified for this exact modeled scope.
Check the official sources below for enacted rule changes outside this calculator's documented assumptions and exclusions.
Assumptions
- Tokyo resident employee, under age 40, one employer, no spouse or dependants, general business, full-year residence and twelve equal salary payments.
- Social contributions apply the premium-month convention: Tokyo health changes in March; employment insurance and Child Support change in April.
- The 1 December 2026 tax reform increases deduction allowances and is reflected in the annual liability / year-end adjustment model.
Not included
- Exact standard remuneration grades, bonuses, nursing-care insurance (age 40+), dependants, housing loan credits, resident-tax per-capita/forest levies and prior-year timing are excluded. Resident tax is a 10% income-based annual estimate.
Current rates and country-specific rules
- The 2026 salary-income and income-dependent basic deductions are applied before national income tax.
- Employee pension, Tokyo health insurance, general-business employment insurance and the new Child and Family Support contribution are separate deductions.
- The annual estimate applies Tokyo's 9.91% health rate for January–February and 9.85% from March, employment insurance at 0.55% for January–March and 0.50% from April, and the employee half of the 0.23% Child and Family Support rate from April.
- National tax includes the 2.1% reconstruction surtax; Tokyo resident tax is modeled as its 10% income component.
Worked example
At JPY 6,000,000 gross pay, the 2026 salary-income deduction and employee social insurance reduce taxable income before national and modeled Tokyo resident tax.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the result not an exact payslip?
Japanese payroll uses standard-remuneration grades and resident tax generally reflects prior-year income. This Tokyo, under-40 profile approximates standard remuneration from twelve equal monthly payments and uses the contribution month, not the later payroll collection month, for 2026 rate changes.
Is nursing-care insurance included?
No. The profile is explicitly for an employee under age 40.
