Terms & Conditions

1Agreeing to these terms

By using PAYE Calculator NZ, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the site.

2What the site is

We offer free New Zealand pay and tax calculators and plain-English guides. The site is for general information. Our Disclaimer explains that results are estimates and aren’t advice, and it forms part of these terms.

3Using the site fairly

You’re welcome to use the calculators and read the guides for your own personal use. Please don’t:

• try to break into, disrupt or overload the site or its servers,
• use bots, scrapers or other automated tools to copy large parts of the site,
• upload malicious code or send spam through our forms,
• use the site for anything unlawful, or pretend to be someone else,
• present our calculators’ results as official figures from IRD or any government agency.

4Estimates and information

Calculator results and guides are estimates and general information. They’re not tax, legal or financial advice, and they can differ from your real payslip. Please read the Disclaimer before you rely on anything here.

5Our content and who owns it

The text, design, calculators, graphics and layout on this site belong to us or are used with permission, and they’re protected by copyright. You may:

• link to any page on the site,
• quote a short extract with a clear credit and a link back to the page.

Please don’t copy, republish or sell our content, or rebuild our calculators, without asking us first.

6Messages you send us

When you write to us, please keep it honest and don’t send private details like your IRD number or bank information. You’re responsible for what you send. We may use your feedback, such as a correction or an idea, to improve the site without owing you anything for it. How we handle your details is explained in our Privacy Policy.

7Links to other sites

We link to other websites that we think are useful. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for what they say or do. A link isn’t an endorsement.

8Availability and changes to the site

We try to keep the site running smoothly, but we can’t promise it will always be available or error-free. We may change, pause or remove any part of the site, including a calculator, at any time.

9Limits on our responsibility

The site is provided free and “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we’re not liable for losses that come from using the site or relying on its results or content. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under the law that can’t be excluded.

10Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using the site after a change, it means you accept the updated terms.

11Which law applies

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. If there’s a dispute, we’d much prefer to sort it out with you directly first, so please get in touch.
