Disclaimer

1We’re an independent website

PAYE Calculator NZ is run independently. We are not part of, or connected to, Inland Revenue (IRD), ACC, KiwiSaver providers or any other New Zealand government agency, and nothing on this site is an official statement from them.

2Our results are estimates

The calculators show a good-faith estimate of your pay after tax. They won’t always match your payslip to the cent. Real payslips can differ because of things like:

• your exact tax code and any special rate you’ve been given,
• how your employer rounds figures or sets up payroll,
• more than one job or other taxable income,
• tax credits and other circumstances that only apply to some people,
• how your employer calculates KiwiSaver contributions,
• student loan rules that change your repayment.

Think of the result as a planning tool, not a final answer.

3Not tax, legal or financial advice

Everything here is general information. It doesn’t take your personal situation into account, and it isn’t tax, legal, accounting or financial advice. Before you make a decision that matters, such as taking a job, changing your KiwiSaver rate or planning for a tax bill, check with IRD or a qualified professional.

4How we keep information up to date

Tax rates and thresholds change. We check the figures on our pages against Inland Revenue and other New Zealand government sources each April, and whenever we learn about a change. Pages show when they were last checked or updated.

Even so, a page can be out of date for a while, or we can simply get something wrong. Please confirm important figures on ird.govt.nz.

5Example figures

Examples on this site, like a $60,000 salary or a $1,200 weekly wage, are there to show how the maths works. They’re not a promise that you’ll receive the same result.

6Links to other sites

We link to other websites, such as IRD, because they’re useful. We don’t control them and can’t promise their content is accurate or up to date. A link isn’t an endorsement.

7Using the site at your own risk

We work hard to be accurate, but we can’t promise the site is error-free or always available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t responsible for losses that come from relying on our calculators or information, for example a payroll decision, a tax bill that differs from your estimate, or a money choice you made based on a result. Nothing here takes away rights you have under the law that can’t be excluded.

The rules for using the site are in our Terms & Conditions.
