Hmm, ¥16,000...

I'll have 29 yrs, and the pension office printout says my monthly payout will be about ¥48,000 (public portion).

Also, I think it has always been the case that people born before 1954 (1955?) have been eligible after 20 yrs.

For me it stands at 20000 yen a month when I turn 66. Also they are taking out about 6000 yen a month for old age medical. Not sure what that is all about, but that's the law now.
