- Members can also opt for the 4%, 6%, 8% or 10% rate.
- The contribution rate is calculated from each member's most recent payday during the year ending 30 June. If the member did not contribute through PAYE during the year they will appear as 'no contribution' in this table, even if they contributed outside of the PAYE system.
- Within the no contribution category there are members who:
- were children (under 18 and therefore may not be earning)
- were not in work (including retirees)
- were on a savings suspension
- were receiving accident compensation, a benefit, or paid parental leave which were not subject to compulsory deduction
- have died, as the process of closing their accounts and exiting can take time to complete
- were overseas
- were contributing to other work-based savings schemes.
- Voluntary contributions include only those made through Inland Revenue, and exclude payments made directly to providers.
- Within the 3% category for 2026 there are members who:
- last made an employee contribution prior to 1 April 2026
- are on a temporary reduction rate.
- Data from June 2020 through to June 2025 was updated as at September 2026.
