Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $870 to pay you $29,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.85 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

18%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.5% tax rate now rises to 18%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.5% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $29,000 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $4,498. That means that your net pay will be $24,502 per year, or $2,042 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.5% and your marginal tax rate is 18.9%. 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 $18.9, hence, your net pay will only increase by $81.1.

Bonus Example

A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $811 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $4,055 of net incomes.
