Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,070 to pay you $69,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.43 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

23.6%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.3% tax rate now rises to 23.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $69,000 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $14,679. That means that your net pay will be $54,321 per year, or $4,527 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.3% and your marginal tax rate is 31.4%. 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 $31.4, hence, your net pay will only increase by $68.6.

Bonus Example

A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $686 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,430 of net incomes.
