Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $349 to pay you $11,642. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.19 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

40.7%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.9% tax rate now rises to 40.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $24,215,360 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $9,426,104. That means that your net pay will be $14,789,256 per year, or $1,232,438 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.9% and your marginal tax rate is 39.0%. 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 $39, hence, your net pay will only increase by $61.

Bonus Example

A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $610 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,050 of net incomes.
