Child allowance payments begin the month following the application. Late payments cannot be recovered. A one-month delay can result in a loss of ¥10,000 to ¥30,000.

■ Simply enter the number of children

The only age requirement is "under 3 years old or over." That's all it takes to calculate the monthly amount.

Children under 3 receive ¥15,000, children 3 years old to high school age receive ¥10,000, and third child and beyond receive ¥30,000 regardless of age. A breakdown is also provided, allowing you to verify the total.

■ Find out "how much you're currently losing"

By selecting how late your application is, the amount you've lost will be displayed in yen. If you haven't applied yet, it clearly states "you're not losing anything." This app is not designed to incite anxiety.

■ The source of the figures is displayed on the screen

All figures in this app are directly sourced from legal documents. We do not use summary articles or blogs.

Child allowance figures are taken from the Child Allowance Act, maternity and childcare lump-sum payments from the Health Insurance Enforcement Order, childcare leave benefits from the Employment Insurance Act, and high school tuition support from the High School Tuition Support Act. The source of each figure and the date of verification are noted below each screen.

Anyone can claim to have consulted primary sources. We believe that being able to provide this information is proof.

■ We will update if laws change

Child allowance was only expanded in October 2024 and will continue to evolve. We have a system in place to verify the laws themselves once a day. If there are changes, we will correct and update the information.

■ We will state what we don't know

Local government-specific systems (such as subsidies for children's medical expenses and school lunch fees) differ from city to city. We haven't yet been able to accurately collect information for all 1741 cities, cities, towns, and villages nationwide. We won't claim "nationwide coverage" for things we don't have. For those parts, we will state, "Please contact your local city, city, or town."

■ Included Systems

Child Allowance, Childbirth and Childcare Lump-Sum Grant, Childcare Leave Benefit, High School Tuition Support Grant
