Disclaimer
This site gives estimates, not advice. Our calculators follow Inland Revenue's 2026/27 payroll rules, but your payslip and IRD always have the final say.
We're not Inland Revenue
PAYE Calculator is an independent website. We're not part of Inland Revenue, ACC, Employment New Zealand or any other government agency.
Not financial or tax advice
Our pages explain how pay and tax work in general. They don't consider your personal situation. Before a big money decision, talk to Inland Revenue, a chartered accountant or a financial adviser.
What the calculator assumes
- You're a New Zealand tax resident.
- Your pay and tax code stay the same for the whole year.
- Rates are for the tax year you choose.
It doesn't cover Working for Families, tailored tax codes or lump sums such as redundancy.
