What can this calculator estimate?

It compares spending, manually entered pensions and accessible savings in JPY, in today's purchasing power.

Use your own after-tax pension estimate. Read the full example

01

Start with Nenkin Net

Japan Pension Service's Nenkin Net lets users estimate benefits under different future coverage and claiming assumptions. Obtain the estimate for the scenario you want to examine. Confirm whether the displayed total already includes both the basic pension and employees' pension before entering it.

02

Translate payment notices into a budget

Use an annual net estimate divided by twelve for this monthly planning model. Actual deposits and deductions may follow a different schedule. A monthly average helps compare income and expenses but does not replace a bank-account cash-flow calendar.

03

Separate retirement allowances and ongoing income

A retirement lump sum is not a lifetime monthly pension. Include it as accessible capital only in a scenario starting when the money is available. Tax on pensions or lump sums, health insurance, contribution exemptions and international totalization are outside this model.

Using the calculator

  1. Check your Nenkin Net projection and its included pension components.
  2. Prepare monthly after-tax income and spending figures in today's yen.
  3. Keep any future lump sum out of today's accessible savings until its availability is modelled correctly.
  4. Use today's purchasing power for every amount. Compare more than one return, spending target and planning horizon.
