I’ve been working on a free calculator for people in New Zealand who want to quickly estimate their take-home pay from their salary.

It can be useful for checking things like:

Gross salary → estimated take-home pay
PAYE deductions
KiwiSaver contributions
Student loan deductions
Weekly, fortnightly and monthly pay
Hourly rate → annual salary

I’ve made it available here:

Would be interested in feedback from NZ users — particularly if there are any salary/PAYE calculations or features you think should be added

  Looks remarkably similar to https://www.paye.net.nz/calculator/ , are there different features planned on the roadmap?

  Well what a thorough job you have done. I'm impressed at how easy you make things for people and especially the info pages:

  https://nzpayecalculator.nz/resources/

  one thing I didn't see (or didn't notice ?) a calculator for people who are about to retire.
  Final pay calculation with holiday payout included and then perhaps an additional (if wanted) calculator to add your Pension (assuming you qualify) for the remainder of the current tax year ?

  I recently went through this myself and tried to time retirement so that it didn't impact my EOY tax and so hopefully I don't have a nasty bill next year at end of tax time………a calculator for that would have been of considerable help .

  Lots of useful info in there. At first look, i noticed you’re using capital letters for most words in your headings? Any reason why? In my opinion, makes it super hard to read when capitalised throughout.

  Probs a professional habit for me given I have yo take the govt guidelines into account. If you’re interested, here is the specific one about capital letters but super useful resource for the rest too

  Would be nice if you could also add calculations for contractors, i.e they don't get Kiwisaver contributions, sick leave, annual leave, public holidays, etc. It would be a good comparison to see how much more are you really earning as a contractor, compared to full time.
