よくある質問 - Japanese Retirement FAQs

日本で老後資金はいくら必要?/ How much do I need to retire in Japan?

Most Japanese retirees need ¥20-30 million in addition to public pension benefits. Our calculator provides personalized estimates based on your lifestyle and expected pension income.

Should I use iDeCo or NISA in Japan?

iDeCo offers tax deductions on contributions but is locked until 60. NISA offers tax-free investment returns with flexibility. Most people benefit from maximizing both for retirement.
