Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $46,020 to pay you $1,534,008. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.08 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.8% tax rate now rises to 39.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $1,534,008 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $580,376. That means that your net pay will be $953,632 per year, or $79,469 per month. Your average tax rate is 37.8% 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.
