Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) has newly released a child support simulator (https://pear-ikuji.com/tools/child-support) on its AI joint custody support platform "Pear Ikuji" (https://pear-ikuji.com).
### The biggest hurdle: "Not knowing the market rate" for child support
According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "FY2021 National Survey of Single-Parent Households, etc.," the percentage of single-mother households with child support agreements remains at approximately 50%. The most common reason for not making an agreement, after "not wanting to be involved with the other party," is "not knowing the market rate."
With the revised Civil Code, which came into effect in April 2026, a statutory child support system was newly established. Even in cases where there is no child support agreement, a mechanism has been put in place to claim the statutory minimum amount. However, to understand "what amount is appropriate in one's own case," it is necessary to interpret the calculation tables published by the courts. These calculation tables are complex, with different tables for different types of income (salary, self-employment) and age categories of children, making it difficult for the general public to interpret them accurately.
### Three features of the "Child Support Simulator"
- **Fully compliant with court calculation tables**: Based on the logic of the child support calculation tables actually used in family courts, it displays a list of market rates by income and number of children.
- **Supports the statutory child support system**: Also displays estimated amounts for statutory child support, which came into effect in April 2026. This can be used as a reference for the minimum amount receivable even in cases where no agreement exists.
- **Supports both salaried and self-employed income**: By simply selecting the type of income, the simulator automatically determines the applicable category in the calculation tables, eliminating the need for complex table interpretation.
### How to use
1. Access Pear Ikuji Child Support Simulator (https://pear-ikuji.com/tools/child-support)
2. Enter both parties' annual income (salary or self-employment) and the number and age categories of children.
3. Confirm the monthly market rate for child support based on the calculation tables and the estimated statutory child support.
### Future Development
Pear Ikuji will continue to develop and release practical tools to eliminate the information gap regarding joint custody and child support, enabling individuals to make appropriate decisions.
