¥67,000/month for ages 0–2 (taxable households) at Tokyo-certified daycare, and up to ¥40,000/month at unlicensed childcare facilities

The city subsidizes daycare fees for children attending Tokyo-certified daycare, home-based caregivers (katei fukushi-in), company-led daycare facilities, or certified unlicensed childcare facilities under a contract of 120 hours or more per month. The limit for certified daycare and similar is ¥67,000/month for taxable households and ¥25,000/month for tax-exempt households in the age 0–2 classes, and ¥20,000/month for the age 3–5 classes. For unlicensed childcare facilities, it is ¥40,000/month for taxable households in the age 0–2 classes; tax-exempt households and the age 3–5 classes are covered only for second and later children. If you receive the national facility usage benefit (free-of-charge program), the subsidy applies to the daycare fees paid minus the free-of-charge amount. Apply twice a year, every half year.
