How does the conversion work?
We convert your pay using standard NZ working assumptions: 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year, 26 fortnights, 260 working days, and 12 months. You can adjust the hours per week to match your situation.
How is net pay calculated?
Net pay is calculated by applying 2025-26 IRD PAYE income tax rates, the Independent Earner Tax Credit (IETC) where eligible, and the ACC earner's levy (1.60%) to your annual gross income. KiwiSaver and student loan repayments are not included in this simple conversion.
IRD-Aligned: These figures assume a standard working year with no overtime, leave loading, or penal rates. For a more detailed breakdown including KiwiSaver and student loan, use our Salary Calculator.
