A binder resin for toner of this invention includes vinyl resin (A), amorphous polyester resin (SN) and saturated polyester resin having crystallinity (SC). Content of A is greater than or equal to 65 mass% and less than or equal to 95 mass% based on 100 mass% of total content of A, SN and SC. A includes vinyl resin containing carboxyl group (C), vinyl resin containing glycidyl group (E) and reactants thereof. Ester group concentration of SC is greater than or equal to 10.0 mmol/g and less than or equal to 13.5 mmol/g. SN disperses in A in island-shape, and island phase of SN contains SC. Metal component (M) contains at least one selected from a group consisting of Zn, Ca, Mg, Al and Ba (however, metal oxide is excepted) and is contained in SC. |
