Assumptions in this estimate

Take-home pay assumes a single person with no pension, retirement or other pre-tax deductions.
PAYE is worked out for the full year and spread evenly across your pays; IRD’s PAYE tables round each pay, so single pays can differ by a few cents.
Assumes this is your main job (tax code M, or ME with the independent earner tax credit) and you have no other income.
PAYE includes the ACC earners’ levy of 1.75% on earnings up to $156,641.

How the calculator works

Annual pay before tax: your hourly rate × hours a week × weeks a year, plus overtime hours at 1.5× your rate.
Take-home pay: we run that annual pay through the same 2026–27 income tax and ACC earners’ levy rules as our PAYE calculator, on tax code M.

For KiwiSaver, a student loan or tax code ME, use the PAYE calculator, which also accepts hourly pay.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?
