Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $56.10 to pay you $1,870. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.83 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.3% tax rate now rises to 37.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $486,200 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $171,731. That means that your net pay will be $314,469 per year, or $26,206 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.3% 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.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $610 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,050 of net incomes.
