Yakudaka

Japanese: 役高 - やくだか

(1) The Edo Shogunate's salary system, which provided a stipend as a job allowance and a standard rice yield for each position. Rice allowances and rice contributions were paid according to the rank of the position. During the Kyoho Reforms, a system of foot pay was introduced to reduce the financial burden and promote talented people. (2) The rice yield and service pay imposed according to rank. The military service and construction work of daimyo and samurai were sometimes based on their fiefs and chigyo-ta, and sometimes were set separately. In addition, the stipend for village assistants, a peasant's duty, was often set separately from the village pay.

（１）江戸幕府の俸禄制度で職務手当としての禄高，各役職の基準石高。役高に応じて扶持(ふち)米や合力米が支給された。享保(きょうほう)改革では，財政負担の軽減・人材登用などのため足高(たしだか)の制がとられた。（２）諸身分に応じて課された役掛り石高，勤め高。大名・武士の軍役・普請役などの役高は，領地・知行高である場合と，これとは別に設定されることがあった。また百姓役の助郷(すけごう)役掛高は村高とは別に設定されることが多かった。
