An interior permanent magnet motor includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor includes a rotor core. The rotor core is formed by laminating steel plates each including pairs of magnet insertion holes and pairs of cutouts. Each pair of magnet insertion holes includes two magnet insertion holes that are arranged in a V-shape, the wide end of which is relatively closer to the outer edge with a support portion located in between. Each pair of cutouts is formed at q-axis ends of the corresponding magnet insertion holes, and includes two cutouts connected to the outer edge of the rotor core. In a state where the permanent magnets are inserted in the magnet insertion holes, a gap is formed at a d-axis end of each magnet insertion hole.
