Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $168 to pay you $5,600. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.49 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.9% tax rate now rises to 14.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $5,600 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $666. That means that your net pay will be $4,934 per year, or $411 per month. Your average tax rate is 11.9% and your marginal tax rate is 11.9%. 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 $11.89, hence, your net pay will only increase by $88.11.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $881 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $4,406 of net incomes.
