Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1.92 to pay you $64. 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 $64 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $7.61. That means that your net pay will be $56.39 per year, or $4.70 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
