A merge assistance device of the present disclosure includes: an own-vehicle position acquisition unit for acquiring an own-vehicle position; a provisional merge point setting unit for setting a provisional merge point on an own lane; a lane-to-lane distance calculation unit for calculating a lane-to-lane distance from the own lane to the target lane; an attention point setting unit for setting a frontward attention point and a rearward attention point on the own lane; a first approximation expression deriving unit for deriving a first approximation expression approximating frontward attention points and rearward attention points; a second approximation expression deriving unit for deriving a second approximation expression approximating the target lane; and a merging-possible area start point estimation unit for estimating a merging-possible area start point on the target lane on the basis of an own-lane width, a target-lane width, and the first and second approximation expressions.
