Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $693 to pay you $23,100. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
17.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 14.6% tax rate now rises to 17.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $23,100 a year living in New Zealand, you will be taxed $3,384. That means that your net pay will be $19,716 per year, or $1,643 per month. Your average tax rate is 14.7% and your marginal tax rate is 18.9%. 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 $18.89, hence, your net pay will only increase by $81.11.
