Depending on how big (or small) the company is, the amount of subsidy given to the company is different.

For example, a small and medium enterprises (including startups) can receive 570,000 yen if they upgrade one of the contract employees’ position to a regular employee.

In addition to 570,000, if your company improve 6% of the “productivity” compared with 3 years ago, the amount per employees increases to 720,000 yen.

The “productivity” can be calculated with the formula below;
