Calculate using the following formula, and the exemption / reduction will be determined according to the calculated "partial contribution reduction ratio".

Actual living expenses (*) = Amount allocated to medical expenses
Required amount of partial contribution - medical expenses appropriation = Amount of partial contribution reduction
Partial contribution reduction measures / partial contribution required x 100 = Partial contribution reduction ratio

※Standard living expenses
The amount obtained by multiplying the standard living expenses prescribed in the standards for protection under the Social Security Act by 115.5%

0% or less: Not eligible for exemption
0% to 20% or less: 20% reduction
20% to 40% or less: 40% reduction
40% to 60% or less: 60% reduction
60% to 80% or less: 80% reduction
When it exceeds 80%: Exemptions

(Note 1) If assets such as savings and savings are more than three months of the standard living expenses, they will not be eligible for reduction.
(Note 2) Even if the calculation result is exempted or reduced, if there is a prospect of a certain amount of income in the near future, collection may be deferred for a certain period (1 month to 6 months). In this case, you will be required to pay a portion of the contribution at the end of the collection grace period.
