Gross annual salary
Main job — no student loan
Your contribution: $1,950/yr · Employer adds: $1,950/yr (3%)
10.5% → 17.5% → 30% → 33% → 39%. Each rate only applies to income in that band.
1.60% of income up to $139,384. Covers accident injury for everyone in NZ.
True cost to your employer
You receive $1,250/wk gross. But your employer actually pays $1,288/wk total — the extra $38/wk is their mandatory 3% KiwiSaver contribution that goes straight into your retirement account on top of your gross.
You'll work until roughly 8 March this year just to cover your PAYE. Everything after that is yours.
