How take-home pay is calculated

Your take-home pay is your gross salary minus PAYE income tax (New Zealand’s progressive tax on each income band) and the ACC earner levy. KiwiSaver contributions and student loan repayments are optional and depend on your situation — add them in the calculator. For current rates and thresholds see NZ tax information.
