What Are LOOK UP ACCOUNTING’s Free Tools?

Our free tools are web-based applications that allow users to prepare documents and perform tax and accounting calculations directly in their browser—without registration or fees.

We currently offer the following four tools:

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting Minutes Generator

This tool automatically generates meeting minutes that comply with Japanese corporate law requirements.

Simply enter your company name, meeting date, attendees, and resolutions, and the tool will generate meeting minutes that can be downloaded in DOCX or PDF format.

Perfect for companies that want to prepare accurate annual meeting records quickly and efficiently.

Monthly Payroll Deduction Simulator

Calculate estimated income tax, resident tax, social insurance premiums, and take-home pay based on a monthly salary amount.

The simulator reflects the 2026 Japanese tax and social insurance rates and is useful for both employers and employees who want to understand payroll deductions and compensation planning.

Tax Deadline Tracker

Enter basic information such as your business type and fiscal year-end month, and the tool will automatically generate a schedule of upcoming filing and payment deadlines.

Track important obligations including income tax returns, consumption tax filings, and withholding tax payments to avoid missed deadlines and late-payment penalties.

Designed for sole proprietors and small business accounting teams.

Furusato Nozei Deduction Calculator

Estimate your Furusato Nozei (hometown tax donation) deduction limit by simply entering your annual income and household information.

The tool provides an estimate of the maximum contribution amount while keeping your out-of-pocket cost at approximately ¥2,000.

Ideal for first-time users and anyone looking to quickly check their annual contribution limit.
