Since 1999, a nationwide movement of municipal incorporation has taken place. While Sasayama city was recognized as the first case of this movement, it has already been seven years. So the financial effects of incorporation for this city were becoming more obvious. In this paper, we intend to calculate such effects for five years of Sasayama city. Classifying reduction of public expenditure as positive effects and expansion of it as negative effects, finally the total net effect is deduced. Sasayama city case shows that positive effects are slightly more than negative effects and about 1.12 billion yen of public expenditure, which is less than expected, was saved for five years. Sasayama city was dramatically expanding public investment projects using national government grants related with incorporation. Those projects have pushed up management cost and local debts cost which almost cancel savings of expenditure.
