- Personal donation for families not covered by a corporate donation: S$ 3,000 + GST (single payment per family on admission). Special categories (diplomatic/public) have lower personal donation amounts (for example S$ 1,000 + GST for certain government/diplomatic cases).

- Initial admission billing examples (dependent on month of admission):
- For new/transfer students the first payment is made by bank transfer before admission and covers 2–4 months in advance depending on the admission month; subsequent tuition payments are collected by GIRO in multi‑month blocks (the school provides exact first‑payment totals on acceptance).

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Initial payment: the first payment (entrance fee, building surcharge, required donation and initial months of tuition/facility fees as applicable) is payable by bank transfer prior to the student's start date.
- Ongoing payments: tuition and facility fees are collected by bank GIRO (automatic debit) on a multi‑month basis. GIRO debit months are April, July, October and January. Specific GIRO debit dates (standard schedule) are: April 15 (covers Apr/May/Jun), July 10 (covers Jul/Aug/Sep), October 10 (covers Oct/Nov/Dec), and January 10 (covers Jan/Feb/Mar). Bus fees have their own GIRO schedule (every second month).
- Payment methods accepted for school fees and bus fees: bank transfer for initial admission payments and GIRO (automatic bank debit) for ongoing tuition and bus fees. The school's admissions/entry guidance states that admission fees and school fee items are handled by bank transfer/GIRO.

Boarding / residential provision
- Boarding is not offered; The Japanese School Singapore operates as day campuses (Clementi and Changi for primary, West Coast for secondary) with no boarding facilities.

School bus / transport fees (Clementi campus examples)
- Joining fee (one‑off): S$ 10.90 per household.
- Capital contribution / deposit (出資金, refundable on withdrawal): S$ 100.00 per household.
- Monthly bus fare (per student): S$ 305.20 (applies to primary and secondary). Bus GIRO is collected on specified months (two‑month blocks) per the bus cooperative schedule. Example payment totals for first month(s) are provided at enrolment based on entry month.

Other routine costs and optional charges
- Textbooks: the school arranges textbooks and distributions for students; textbooks are handled through official distribution channels (textbooks are not billed as regular tuition in the public fee schedule).
- Uniforms and physical‑education kit:
- No school‑wide mandatory daily uniform is imposed for the primary or secondary divisions; students are expected to wear clothing appropriate for school. A school‑designated physical‑education (PE/体操服) kit is required and is purchased separately (the school provides purchase instructions and a dedicated purchase link). Costs for PE kit are not itemized as a fixed school fee in the general fee schedule.
- Other possible charges: occasional activity fees, school trips, instrument hire or club fees may be charged separately as applicable; specific amounts are published to families at the time the activity is scheduled (these items are not included in the standard tuition/facility monthly amounts).

Refunds, withdrawal and pro‑rata policy
- No pro‑rata tuition calculation: tuition is not pro‑rated on a daily basis; if a student is enrolled for any day in a month that month's tuition is payable. This applies at withdrawal or mid‑term departure.
- Withdrawal procedure and timing: parents are required to submit official withdrawal/退学 paperwork to the school one month before the intended withdrawal date (the school advises at least one month's notice so GIRO cancellation can be processed). GIRO cancellation processing typically requires multiple business days.
- Over‑deduction refunds: if a GIRO debit is taken after a student's last attendance due to processing timing, the school will process refunds upon receipt of the required refund application documents; refund processing and bank procedures generally take a short period (processing time noted by the school).

Currency, taxes and GST
- All quoted S$ amounts on the school fee schedule are shown GST‑inclusive (the school's published fee documents indicate GST included in the displayed figures).

Notes on documentation and amounts
- The school issues a detailed "payment guidance" or "校納金お支払いのご案内" to successful applicants after submission of the application; that document specifies the exact first‑payment totals, the required donor classification (corporate / personal), and the banking instructions for the initial bank transfer and subsequent GIRO setup. The corporate donation scale is applied according to employer classification and the school issues the donation request at time of admission.
