About this calculator

This calculator is only for pay periods ending between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2009 (inclusive). This calculator works out how much PAYE to deduct from an employee's holiday pay. Use this calculator to work out the amounts to deduct for PAYE, student loan repayments and KiwiSaver deductions, as well as any KiwiSaver employer contribution amounts you are required to pay.

Use of this tool does not result in data being submitted to us.

When to use this calculator

Note: From 1 April 2007 the annual holiday entitlement increased to a minimum of four weeks or 8% of gross income. For more information see the Holidays Act 2003.

Before you use this calculator, you will need to work out the gross amount payable to your employee for holiday pay. When completing your calculation, include holiday pay as earnings in the period that you actually pay them.

If you have made KiwiSaver employer contributions, you may be entitled to claim an employer tax credit when you file your Employer Monthly Schedule (EMS). The PAYE calculator can assist you to calculate any employer tax credit you are entitled to claim. You can find additional information on the employer tax credit on the KiwiSaver website.

For help calculating an employee's holiday pay, see the Department of Labour's booklet, "An employer's guide to holidays and leave". For a copy of the booklet or further information about holiday pay, visit the Department of Labour website, or call the Department of Labour's Employment Relations Infoline on 0800 800 803.

Please note that this calculator is only used for calculating 'pay periods'. The PAYE calculator is used to work out your monthly / twice monthly employer tax credit requirements.
