for a monthly premium of 1,200 yen or less, the amount obtained by subtracting the total amount of the amounts calculated under (b) from the total amount of the amounts calculated under (a) (if the amount has a fraction of less than one yen, it is rounded up to one yen):
千二百円以下の掛金月額については、イにより計算して得た金額の合計額からロにより計算して得た金額の合計額を減じて得た金額(その金額に一円未満の端数があるときは、これを一円に切り上げるものとする。)
for each 100 yen of a monthly premium of 1,200 yen or less, one twelfth of the amount specified in the second column of Appended Table 1 of the New Act according to the number of months for which premiums were paid (where, among the number of months for which premiums were paid, there are months relating to a period during which the mutual aid policyholder was an employer other than a small and medium-sized enterprise, the amount obtained by adding, to the amount specified in the third column of that table according to the number of months for which premiums were paid, the amount obtained by subtracting the amount specified in the third column from one twelfth of the amount specified in the second column of that table according to the number of months for which premiums were paid relating to the period during which the mutual aid policyholder was a small and medium-sized enterprise);
for each 100 yen of a monthly premium exceeding 800 yen and 1,200 yen or less, with regard to a continuing covered employee whose number of months for which premiums were paid (limited to those relating to a period during which the mutual aid policyholder was a small and medium-sized enterprise; the same applies hereinafter in this item) is 36 or more, five ninety-fifths (where the number of months for which premiums were paid is 120 or more, ten ninetieths) of the amount specified in the third column of Appended Table 1 of the New Act according to the number of months for which premiums were paid for the period before the Effective Date (where that number of months is less than 24, the amount specified in the fourth column of that table according to that number of months);
for each 100 yen of a monthly premium exceeding 1,200 yen, the amount specified, according to the number of months for which premiums were paid, in the third column of Appended Table 1 of the New Act (where the monthly premium has been changed and there is a monthly premium on or after the Effective Date that exceeds the maximum amount of the monthly premium before the Effective Date (excluding where the number of months of paid premiums prescribed in Article 10, paragraph (1) of the New Act is less than 24), for the excess amount, for each 100 yen, in the fourth column of that table according to the number of months for which premiums were paid).
With regard to the application of Article 13, paragraph (4) of the New Act to a covered employee under a retirement allowance mutual aid contract that took effect before the Effective Date, whose retirement allowance mutual aid contract is cancelled on or after the Effective Date, the phrase "when there is a monthly premium exceeding the monthly premium on the date the retirement allowance mutual aid contract took effect" in that paragraph is deemed to be replaced with "when there is a monthly premium on or after the Effective Date that exceeds the maximum amount of the monthly premium before the Effective Date".

Short name set inSupplementary Provisions, Article 4, paragraph (1)
cancellation
解除
Ending a contract by one party's notice to the other, where the contract or the law gives that party a right to cancel (Civil Code, Article 540, paragraph (1)). The Civil Code lets a party cancel for the other's failure to perform: after a demand to perform within a reasonable time that is not met, unless what is still missing is minor (Article 541), or at once where performance has become wholly impossible, or the other party has clearly refused to perform, among other cases where performance clearly will not come (Article 542, paragraph (1)). On cancellation each party must put the other back in the position before the contract, and damages can still be claimed (Article 545, paragraphs (1) and (4)); a lease, though, ends only from then on (Article 620). Cancellation differs from rescission (取消し), after which the act is treated as void from the start (Article 121).
