Long-term care insurance premiums for those aged 65 and over

Here, we will explain the long-term care insurance premiums for those aged 65 and over.
If you are between the ages of 40 and 64, please see Long-Term Care Insurance Premiums for People Aged 40-64.

How to decide long-term care insurance premiums

Premiums for persons aged 65 and over (first insured person) are reviewed every three years in anticipation of the costs necessary to operate the system. Premiums from 2021 to 2025 correspond to the increase in the number of people certified as requiring long-term care and the number of users of long-term care services. We set it at 79,200 yen. Centering on this standard amount, we have set 17 levels of insurance premiums so that the burden depends on income.
Premiums to be paid will be calculated individually based on the table below.
