Understanding PAYE Payroll

PAYE withholding

PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is the tax your employer deducts from each pay before you receive it. The amount depends on your annual salary and your tax code. Unlike Australia, New Zealand does not have a tax-free threshold -- all income is taxed from the first dollar.

KiwiSaver

KiwiSaver is New Zealand's voluntary workplace savings scheme. Employees can contribute 3%, 4%, 6%, 8%, or 10% of their gross salary. Employers must match at a minimum of 3%. These contributions go to your KiwiSaver fund and are deducted from your pay.

Student Loan Repayment

If you have a student loan, your employer deducts 12% of every dollar you earn above $22,828 per year. This is automatically deducted via PAYE when you use an SL tax code.

IRD-Aligned: Uses 2025-26 PAYE withholding rates. Actual withholding may vary slightly due to rounding in IRD's pay period schedules.
