Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $23,175 to pay you $772,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.20 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39% tax rate now rises to 40.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $40,170,000 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $15,648,413. That means that your net pay will be $24,521,587 per year, or $2,043,466 per month. Your average tax rate is 39.0% 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.
