<sup>caption: Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>
<sup>art-17 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employment-insurance-act/art-17 · https://japanlaw.org/l/349AC0000000116/art-17</sup>

    **第一項**  賃金日額は、算定対象期間において第十四条（第一項ただし書を除く。）の規定により被保険者期間として計算された最後の六箇月間に支払われた賃金（臨時に支払われる賃金及び三箇月を超える期間ごとに支払われる賃金を除く。次項、第六節及び次章において同じ。）の総額を百八十で除して得た額とする。
    <sup>art-17/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employment-insurance-act/art-17/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/349AC0000000116/art-17/par-1</sup>
    The daily amount of wages is to be the amount obtained by dividing by 180 the total amount of wages (excluding wages paid temporarily and wages paid for each period exceeding three months; the same applies in the following paragraph, Section 6 and the following Chapter) paid during the last six months in the period for calculation that have been counted as the insured period under the provisions of Article 14 (excluding the proviso of paragraph (1)).
    <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

    **第二項**  前項の規定による額が次の各号に掲げる額に満たないときは、賃金日額は、同項の規定にかかわらず、当該各号に掲げる額とする。
    <sup>art-17/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employment-insurance-act/art-17/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/349AC0000000116/art-17/par-2</sup>
    In the case where the amount calculated under the provisions of the preceding paragraph is less than the amount listed in each of the following items, the daily amount of wages is to be the amount listed in the respective items, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph:
    <sup>machine translation, not official</sup>

      **一**  賃金が、労働した日若しくは時間によつて算定され、又は出来高払制その他の請負制によつて定められている場合には、前項に規定する最後の六箇月間に支払われた賃金の総額を当該最後の六箇月間に労働した日数で除して得た額の百分の七十に相当する額
      <sup>art-17/par-2/item-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employment-insurance-act/art-17/par-2/item-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/349AC0000000116/art-17/par-2/item-1</sup>
      in the case where wages are calculated by the days or hours worked, or are determined on a piece-rate or other contract systems, the amount equivalent to 70 percent of the amount obtained by dividing the total amount of wages paid during the last six months prescribed in the preceding paragraph by the number of days worked during the last six months; and
      <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

      **二**  賃金の一部が、月、週その他一定の期間によつて定められている場合には、その部分の総額をその期間の総日数（賃金の一部が月によつて定められている場合には、一箇月を三十日として計算する。）で除して得た額と前号に掲げる額との合算額
      <sup>art-17/par-2/item-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employment-insurance-act/art-17/par-2/item-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/349AC0000000116/art-17/par-2/item-2</sup>
      in the case where a portion of wages is fixed by the month, the week or any other set period, the total of the amount obtained by dividing the total sum of the portion by the number of days in that period (where a portion of wages is fixed by the month, a month is regarded as 30 days for the calculation) and the amount listed in the preceding item.
      <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第三項**  前二項の規定により賃金日額を算定することが困難であるとき、又はこれらの規定により算定した額を賃金日額とすることが適当でないと認められるときは、厚生労働大臣が定めるところにより算定した額を賃金日額とする。
    <sup>art-17/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employment-insurance-act/art-17/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/349AC0000000116/art-17/par-3</sup>
    When it is difficult to calculate the daily amount of wages pursuant to the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs or when it is found inappropriate to consider the amount calculated pursuant to the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs to be the daily amount of wages, the amount calculated as specified by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare is to be the daily amount of wages.
    <sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

    **第四項**  前三項の規定にかかわらず、これらの規定により算定した賃金日額が、第一号に掲げる額を下るときはその額を、第二号に掲げる額を超えるときはその額を、それぞれ賃金日額とする。
