Estimate a cautious Highly Skilled Professional point signal for the common advanced specialized/technical route. Use it before checking 70-point HSP recognition, 80-point permanent residence timing, salary evidence, tax and pension records, degree documents, Japanese language proof, visa renewal timing, and bonus-point evidence.
If the search is HSP points after moving to Japan, PR preparation from first year, or Japan records for permanent residence, use the first 14 days checklist, bank checklist, and My Number checklist before the evidence trail starts.
If the query is Japan HSP points calculator, HSP visa points calculator, highly skilled professional visa points, or HSP requirements, start with the calculator above, then compare annual remuneration with the Japan salary calculator before assuming the salary band is enough.
If the query is Japan PR points calculator, permanent residency points calculation table, or 70/80 point PR route, use the PR documents checklist after estimating points so tax, pension, guarantor, reason statement, and residence timing are not left until the end.
If the query is about salary bands, age points, work experience, degree points, or JLPT bonus, check payslip deductions, income tax, and resident tax so the point story matches payroll and certificate evidence.
If HSP points are part of a status extension plan, use the visa renewal checklist for residence card expiry, tax certificates, employer papers, photo, online filing, and document timing before relying on point score alone.
If the point score changes whether you stay, connect it to home-loan readiness, the mortgage calculator, or the leaving Japan checklist for pension refund, resident tax, and tax representative planning.
Users searching PR points usually need to know whether they are close to 70 or 80 before gathering employer, tax, pension, and residence documents.
The official annual salary table changes by age band. A salary that earns points under 30 may not earn the same points after 40.
Japanese language and Japanese higher-education evidence can materially change the planning signal, but the official table has stacking caveats.
This page focuses on HSP(i)(b), the common specialized/technical worker path. Research and business management applicants should read the full official table.
Build the address, My Number, bank, salary, insurance, tax, and pension record foundation that later affects visa renewal, HSP, and PR evidence.
HSP salary points use annual remuneration, but daily affordability still depends on take-home pay after tax and social insurance.
After checking 70 or 80 points, use the PR document page for tax certificates, pension records, guarantor documents, reason statement, and route timing.
If HSP points are part of a residence-status plan, check extension timing, tax certificates, salary evidence, residence card, and employer papers before filing.
Permanent residence preparation usually turns into tax, pension, and municipal document checks. Start with resident tax if June billing or departure timing is unclear.
Use the income tax page when the issue is taxable income, deductions, salary vs freelance income, or tax-office documents.
Use the bank checklist when salary deposit, tax payments, credit history, remittance, or document trail depends on a Japan bank account.
Check first credit-card readiness if PR, home loan, or long-term residence planning depends on stable payment history.
Many HSP and PR users next compare rent, mortgage, down payment, and debt-to-income ratio before deciding whether to stay long-term.
If PR timing is not realistic, check resident tax, pension refund, tax representative, National Health Insurance, and address procedures before leaving.
No. This is a planning calculator that maps common inputs to official point-table categories. Immigration status, permanent residence, evidence acceptance, and final scoring are decided through official procedures.
The official PR fast-track language refers to continuous stay and point levels at application and reference timing. The year input helps separate a point score from a PR timing signal.
The official table states that advanced specialized/technical and business management activities require at least 3 million yen annual salary.
Use the official table and FAQ for final interpretation. This page intentionally estimates only a search-entry planning signal.
