5 KiwiSaver rates

IRD Filing ready

Payroll in New Zealand is harder than it should be.

KiwiSaver has five rate options and ESCT

Employees choose 3%, 4%, 6%, 8%, or 10%. Employer matches at 3% minimum. Then ESCT applies to the employer contribution based on income โ€” another calculation layer.

ACC levy changes annually

The earner's levy rate and maximum earnings cap update every tax year. Miss the update and your ACC calculations are wrong all year.

Payday filing compliance adds urgency

Employment information must be filed with IRD within 2 working days of each payday. Late filings attract penalties.
