Japan Issued Employees' Pension Insurance Rate of Reiwa Fifth

On August 3rd, 2017, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan announced a notice on the end of increasement of the premium rate of pension annuity which will be fixed at 18.3% after the last round of increasement in September. The notice pointed out that in view of the rapidly declining birth rate and increasing aging population, in order to balance the pension benefits and the burden of contemporary labor groups, since the revision of the pension system in Heisei 16(2004), the welfare pension insurance rate has increased by 0.354% per year. Combined with the national treasure burden structure of 50% of the basic pension (national annual), the pension system has completed the preliminary financial framework. In the future, the pension system will be operated with a long-term perspective on the basis of ensuring the level of pension benefits.

Until 2023, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has not issued a new round of adjustment notice. The annual premium rates in recent years are:

On April 1, 2023, the Japan Pension Agency issued a “Table of Welfare Pension Insurance Premiums from September 2020(Reiwa 5th Annual Version)”, which records monthly insurance premium paid by general insured person, pit workers (staff in coal mines and mines  ) and crew members with different incomes for public reference. In addition, the table states:
  1. From September 29, 2010, the insurance premium rates for general insured person, pit workers and crew members will remain the same.
  2. When decimal places in the calculation of the insurance premium appear, if the employers withhold and pay the insurance premium from the employees’ salary, it will be rounded off if it does not exceed 0.5 yen and it will be regarded as 1 yen if it is more than 0.5 yen (including 0.5 yen). If there is a special agreement between the employers and the employees regarding the treatment of decimal places, it can be implemented in accordance with the agreement.
  3. The insurance premium recorded in the payment notification is the total amount of insurance premiums for all insured employees. If the total amount has a decimal place less than 1 yen, the decimal place is rounded off.
  4. The insurance premium for bonuses is calculated by multiplying the standard bonus amount after deducting the portion of the bonus amount less than 1,000 yen by the insurance rate. In addition, there is an upper limit on the amount of the standard bonus, and the upper limit of the Welfare Pension Insurance and child rearing contributions is 1.5 million yen per month.
  5. Employers must bear the full amount of the child-rearing contributions used to pay child allowances and so on. The childcare contribution is calculated based on the standard monthly remuneration and standard bonus monthly of all insured persons multiplied by the contribution rate.

The insurance premiums for general insured persons with different incomes, pit workers and crew members in 2023 is as follows:
