Compare an official National Pension back-payment quote with the confirmed annual pension increase, tax assumption and wait until the increase starts.

Sources checked 4 October 2026

Use a quote and a pension forecast for the same selected periods. This tool does not calculate your eligibility or infer the benefit from unpaid months. Get the official figures first.

Your comparison

Complete the checks before calculating. Keep your official records open in another tab.

Official confirmation for this payment

Use Nenkin Net and, where needed, a pension office. Compare forecasts with the same future working and contribution assumptions.

Total official payment quote (JPY)

For exactly the periods being compared, including any official surcharge. Do not use a generic current-year premium.

Confirmed extra pension per year (JPY, before tax)

Enter only the increase from this payment, not your total pension. For a confirmed zero increase, enter 0.

Assumed tax on the extra pension (%)

An editable assumption, not a tax assessment. 0 means no tax deducted from the increase.

Years from payment until the increase starts

Use the start applicable to your official forecast. Enter 0 if the increase starts now; no arrears are assumed.

Method and worked example

Annual increase after assumed tax = confirmed gross annual increase × (1 − tax percentage ÷ 100). Simple payback = official quoted cost ÷ that annual increase. Payback starts when the extra pension starts. Add the entered waiting period to illustrate the time from payment.

Worked example with invented figures

A ¥240,000 quote and ¥12,000 annual increase with assumed 0% tax give a 20-year simple payback after the increase starts. With a five-year wait, that becomes 25 years from payment. These are invented figures, not standard Japanese back-payment rates.

Enter an annual increase attributable to the selected payment, not total pension. Keep future employment/contribution assumptions identical when comparing official forecasts. ねんきんネット · 年金見込額試算.

No upfront tax relief, inflation, uprating, investment return, mortality or means-tested benefit offset is included. The tax rate is an assumption, not an individual tax calculation. Pension instalments can change the precise cash-flow date. A zero or fully taxed increase has no simple payback.

Use the actual quote, including applicable surcharges. Do not price old periods using this year's premium. Different exemption types can give different gains. ねんきんネット · 追納等可能月数と金額; 日本年金機構 · 国民年金保険料の追納制度.
