When to use this calculator
Based on the details you give us, you can:
- calculate how much PAYE / KiwiSaver / student loan should be withheld from weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly wages
- work out the PAYE on cash payments to get the gross figure for the net cash amount
- calculate any required KiwiSaver employee deductions, net employer contributions and ESCT payable.
If you've been paid a cash amount, you can work out the PAYE on it and get the gross figure for the net (cash) amount.
