Please tell me about prepayment of national pension premiums.

If you pay the insurance premium for a certain period of the year in advance, the premium will be discounted.

(1) 2 advance payments (2) 1 advance payment (3) 6 months advance payment (4) advance payment from each month to the end of the fiscal year

(1) 2 years in advance (2) 1 year in advance (3) 6 months in advance (4) Monthly (Early bird discount and direct debit only)
Note: Prepayment by direct debit offers a larger discount than prepayment by payment slip (cash) or credit card.
Note: The regular account transfer date is the last day of the following month, but if you choose to have your money transferred at the end of the current month (early bird discount), you will receive a discount of 60 yen per month. For more information, please contact the Fuchu Pension Office.

Annotation

• Prepayment by credit card will be the same amount as cash payment.
• Payments by direct debit or credit card for two years, one year, or six months in advance can be made from the middle of the fiscal year until the end of the fiscal year (or the end of the following fiscal year). However, if the first payment date for six months in advance by direct debit is between the end of May and the end of September, the premiums up to September will be paid as a flat rate (paid the following month) (at the end of October, the premiums for September and October to March will be paid). In addition, if the first payment date for six months in advance by credit card is between the end of May and the end of September, the premiums up to September will be paid as a flat rate (paid the current month).
