Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,450 to pay you $48,318. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.02 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

19.6%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.2% tax rate now rises to 19.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.4% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $48,318 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $8,313. That means that your net pay will be $40,005 per year, or $3,334 per month. Your average tax rate is 17.2% and your marginal tax rate is 23.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $23.9, hence, your net pay will only increase by $76.1.
