Common questions
What does ‘salary after tax’ mean?
It’s the amount of your salary you actually keep once PAYE income tax and the ACC earners’ levy are deducted — your take-home pay. KiwiSaver and student loan repayments reduce it further if they apply to you.
Does this include KiwiSaver?
Only if you choose a KiwiSaver rate. By default the calculator shows your pay after tax and ACC. Add your KiwiSaver rate to see the effect on your take-home pay.
