How we calculate this
This calculator applies Inland Revenue's resident income tax rates and the ACC earners levy of 1.75% (including GST) on earnings up to $156,641. KiwiSaver contributions, if you enter them, come off your pay after tax and do not reduce PAYE. It does not include student loan repayments, the Independent Earner Tax Credit, secondary tax codes, Working for Families or employer KiwiSaver contributions. It is an estimate. For an exact figure, use Inland Revenue's tools or consult a tax adviser.
