What this calculator estimates
Basic credit
The resident tax basic portion is generally the donation amount minus 2,000 yen multiplied by 10%. Use the resident tax calculator if the June bill or city-office notice is the main question.
20% cap signal
The resident tax special portion tries to cover what income tax and the basic credit do not cover, but it is limited by 20% of the resident tax income-rate amount.
One-stop or final return
The one-stop route can be convenient for salary earners with five or fewer donation municipalities and no final-return trigger. If you file a final return, include every furusato nozei donation.
Choose the furusato nozei path by situation
Foreign resident using one-stop for the first time
Check whether you are a salary earner who is not otherwise required to file a final return, whether the donation is to five or fewer local governments, and whether each one-stop application is submitted correctly.
Final tax return, medical expenses, or side income
If you file a final tax return for any reason, one-stop special applications become invalid. Use the year-end adjustment and refund calculator and include furusato nozei in the final return.
Resident tax notice or June payroll deduction
Furusato nozei often appears as a resident tax reduction from the following June. Compare the estimate with the resident tax calculator and the municipality notice.
My Number, e-Tax, or MynaPortal route
If the return will be filed online or donation data will be linked, confirm My Number Card, e-Tax login, certificate data, and document access with the My Number checklist.
Leaving Japan before the tax cycle finishes
If donation, final return, resident tax, or refund follow-up may continue after departure, check the leaving Japan checklist and tax representative checklist.

FAQ for furusato nozei in Japan
Is this the official donation limit?
No. This is a planning estimate. The official usable amount depends on your actual income, resident tax income levy, deductions, municipality assessment, filing route, and official guidance.
Why can my actual result differ from the 2,000 yen burden?
The resident tax special credit has a cap, the income-tax deduction has an income cap, and other deductions can lower taxable income. Donating above the practical limit increases your net cost.
Should one-stop users keep donation receipts?
Yes. Keep one-stop applications, receipt or certificate records, municipality confirmations, and final-return documents. If you later file a final return, include all donations again in that return.
