How to say "deductible" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 免責金額めんせききんがくnounThe insurance sense: the amount of a loss the insured pays out of pocket before the insurer pays. A less common but fully explicit wording, spelling out 'amount of money' within the term itself.
- 免責額めんせきがくnounThe same insurance deductible — what the policyholder covers before benefits begin — as a shortened form of 免責金額; interchangeable with it, though a less common way to write the term.
Both words cover the same sense of 'deductible' — the insurance amount the policyholder pays before coverage begins — and are largely interchangeable; use 免責金額 for the fuller wording, 免責額 for the shorter one.
