Amount of new Kanji for each JLPT level

Hi everyone!

I’m in the process of creating a Goodnotes digital notebook to keep all of my Japanese learning in one place. One part of the notebook is for noting down kanji as I learn them, with separate sections for each JLPT level. I haven’t gotten very far into N5 but I know there isn’t official set kanji for each level. However, for the sake of the notebook I’m creating, how many *new* kanji would you say there is for each level?

  1. According to some lists it’s roughly something like

    N5 – 80

    N4 – 156

    N3 – 370

    N2 – 370

    N1 – 1240

  2. Just go by frequency lists, you can decide on your divisions so it’ll be easier to organise and won’t involve guessing
