RetireJapan

Here are some exact figures in my case.
Age 67, two years retired from full-time university teaching.
Pension = ¥2 million (combined national pension and private university pension)
Part-time job = ¥2 million
Thus, a total income of ¥4 million.
Kokumin kenko hoken (national health insurance) = ¥224,790/year
kaigo hoken (nursing insurance) = ¥144,000/year
Kyoto city tax = ¥85,000.
So I am paying a bit less than 10% of my income for health insurance (including nursing insurance). If I have miscalculated, please let me know.
I wonder how long I have to pay the nursing insurance. Until age 75? Until death?
And I will be interested to see how much lower my national health insurance payment becomes when I am 70 and can no longer work part-time at a university and have only the pension.

There is a good doc on Shibuya-ku's website, here:

The premium is based on the previous tax year's income, say Jan-Dec 2020 and payable from July 2021 to June 2022, same as Residential Tax.

Therefore, if you quit work in December 2021, you will still be liable for 6 months Residential Tax and Health Insurance Premiums based on your Income from 2020. You will then have a full year of liability on 2021 Income from 2022 to June 2023, so a total of 18 months based on your pre-retirement income. Only then will the premiums go down to reflect your lower Retirement Income.

This is very complex. It depends on the nature, amount, allowances, credits and location of the income.
