Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $9.51 to pay you $317. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.64 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.4% tax rate now rises to 25.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $82,420 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $19,264. That means that your net pay will be $63,156 per year, or $5,263 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.4% and your marginal tax rate is 34.4%. 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 $34.39, hence, your net pay will only increase by $65.61.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $656 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,281 of net incomes.
