I'm leaving this summer. When is the last day of my contract?

Your contract ends the day before your first full day in Japan (i.e. the Monday in Tokyo).

Listed below are the final days of work for departing JETs, based on the year and group they came with:

 Group AGroup BGroup C
2010July 25thAugust 1stAugust 1st
2009July 26thAugust 2ndAugust 2nd
2008July 27thAugust 3rdAugust 3rd
2007July 29thAugust 5thAugust 5th
2006July 30thAugust 6thAugust 6th

If you want to leave before the last day of your contract, you can only do this if you have enough nenkyuu/daikyuu left and your school agrees to you taking it (you may still have classes). It's not possible to leave early in return for a reduced amount of money for July.
