A vacuum pump includes: a particle transferring portion that functions as a means for transferring a particle in an exhaust direction of the gas particle by increasing or reducing a height of an upstream end of at least a part of rotor blades among a plurality of rotor blades that constitute an uppermost exhaust stage to realize a stepped structure in which heights of the upstream ends differ as the uppermost exhaust stage as a whole, and in a rotating body constituted by the plurality of rotor blades, the particle transferring portion, and a cylindrical portion that supports the plurality of rotor blades, an imbalance created with respect to the rotating body as a whole by a presence of a rotor blade of which a height of the upstream end has become higher than other rotor blades due to the stepped structure has been corrected.
