Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $136 to pay you $4,525. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.90 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26% tax rate now rises to 28.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $108,600 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $28,268. That means that your net pay will be $80,332 per year, or $6,694 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.0% 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.
