Re: IDeCo changes December 2024

I got the same email and also clicked the button to notify them that I wanted to increase my contributions to the maximum 20,000 yen. A confirmation message was then displayed on the screen, but there were no further procedures to specify my new monthly purchases or anything--I'm guessing that will...

Re: How to sell specific "OLD NISA" year on Rakuten

Better to specify the number of units (口), rather than the monetary amount. Then you'll definitely clear out 2020's allowance, Thanks for the reply. After thinking about it a little more, that's exactly what I did. After selecting the funds that I wanted to sell, I was given the option of entering ...

Re: How to sell specific "OLD NISA" year on Rakuten

This thread has been very helpful. I think I have *finally* almost got my head around how this works. Can anyone clarify the following for me? The 非課税期間満了 (tax-exempt period expiring) page of my Rakuten NISA account (as pictured in the post prior to this one) tells me that the two funds in it are no...

Re: IDeCo changes December 2024

I'm a private school teacher, so same limits as public servants, and rakuten sent me an email about the upcoming changes, all I had to do was login and click a button and they said my contributions would increase from December. It was, surprisingly, easy ... (fingers crossed) I got the same email a...

Re: Ideco Contributions Card from Japan Pension Bureau

The actual yeild for each individual Y12,000 will be different, but the average is 17.90% Thanks for that. I understood what each of the figures were, just not how the yield is calculated. I think I more or less have it now, though. I sometimes have a bit of a mental block when it comes to number-c...

Re: Ideco Contributions Card from Japan Pension Bureau

Reading this made me curious so I had a look at my ideco performance, which I rarely do. I've been paying my 12,000 per month for about seven years now, and the site said: Market value (時価評価額): 1,860,423 円 Profit/loss (評価損益): +881,233 円 Cumulative total invested (投資累計額): 979,190 円 Investment yield (...

Re: Credit card tsumitate increase

I suppose it's probably my own fault for not making sure my name is written exactly the same way everywhere. I don't usually use my middle name in most circumstances (in English or Japanese), but I do if it is required (or depending on the name entry format in the application or whatever). I guess I...

Re: Credit card tsumitate increase

Also make sure to link the credit card beforehand just in case there's weird name matching problem. Taking this good advice, I just tried to register my new Rakuten credit card on my Rakuten Shoken account, and, to my dismay, there is indeed a "weird name matching problem." :cry: The prob...
