A method for manufacturing a magnetic head for perpendicular magnetic recording is disclosed. The method comprising: a first step of depositing a non-magnetic film over and around the main magnetic pole, and subsequently polishing and planarizing the non-magnetic film, wherein the non-magnetic film is made of a non-magnetic material which exhibits a lower ion milling rate than that of a magnetic metal material which constitutes the main magnetic pole; a second step of etching the surface by means of ion milling at a first angle relative to a stacked direction of the magnetic head, to form a stepped portion in which the main magnetic pole is lower from the non-magnetic film around the main magnetic pole; and a third step of etching the stepped portion, by means of ion milling, at a second angle relative to the stacked direction, wherein the second angle is larger than the first angle.
