This subsidy lowers daycare fees for households whose children attend Tokyo-certified daycare (ninshō hoikusho). For children aged 0-2 certified as needing childcare, it is up to ¥80,000 per month for taxed households and up to ¥38,000 per month for tax-exempt households. Tax-exempt households can use it together with the national free early childhood education and care program, and the city's subsidy is determined by comparison with the daycare fee minus the national amount. For children aged 0-5 not certified as needing childcare, the limit is ¥35,000 per month if the household's total income-based resident tax is less than ¥77,101, and ¥25,000 per month if less than ¥135,000. The monthly basic daycare fee is compared with the limit, and the lower amount is paid.
