Repayment thresholds - New Zealand-based borrowers
New Zealand-based borrowers receiving salary or wages are required to repay 12 cents of every dollar earned over the pay period repayment threshold (eg, $409 per week from 1 April 2022). The deductions are considered to be sufficient and do not result in additional repayments provided they are within a determined threshold. If significant under-deductions occur, the employer is required to make compulsory extra deductions.
Borrowers who earn $500 or more of adjusted net income (income that's not salary and wages and adjustments) and whose total income including salary or wages is $500 or more than the annual repayment threshold are required to make payments on this income. Table shows the repayment threshold by year ending 31 March (the tax year).

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Threshold | $19,448 | $19,760 | $20,020 | $20,280 | $21,268 |
Repayment thresholds - Overseas-based borrowers
Overseas-based borrowers repayment obligations were set to a fixed minimum based on their loan balance as at 31 March 2014 or, if they left New Zealand after this date, their departure date. The overseas-based repayment obligation will not decrease as the loan balance decreases but can increase if the loan balance increases.
Total loan balance | Repayment obligation |

Under $1,000 | Whole loan balance |
$1,000 and up to $15,000 | $1,000 |

Over $45,000 and up to $60,000 | $4,000 |
Over $60,000 | $5,000 |
Overdue repayments
If a borrower does not meet some or all of their repayment obligations by the due date, the amount due but not paid becomes an overdue repayment. Late payment interest is charged on the overdue amount. The number of borrowers overdue and the amount overdue has increased as at 30 September 2022. This result reflects both a decline in the number of overseas based borrowers making a repayment as required by 30 September, and a change in reporting methodology.

Repayment thresholds - New Zealand-based borrowers
New Zealand-based borrowers receiving salary or wages are required to repay 12 cents of every dollar earned over the pay period repayment threshold (eg, $385 per week). The deductions are considered to be sufficient and do not result in additional repayments provided they are within a determined threshold. If significant under-deductions occur, the employer is required to make compulsory extra deductions.
Borrowers who earn $500 or more of adjusted net income (income that's not salary and wages and adjustments) and whose total income including salary or wages is $20,520 or more are required to make payments on this income. Table shows the repayment threshold by year ending 31 March (the tax year).

Repayment thresholds - New Zealand-based borrowers
New Zealand-based borrowers receiving salary or wages are required to repay 12 cents of every dollar earned over the pay period repayment threshold (eg, $374 per week). The deductions are considered to be sufficient and do not result in additional repayments provided they are within a determined threshold. If significant under-deductions occur, the employer is required to make compulsory extra deductions.
Borrowers who earn $1,500 or more of adjusted net income (income that’s not salary and wages and adjustments) and whose total income including salary or wages is $20,636 or more are required to make payments on this income.

New Zealand-based borrowers receiving salary or wages are required to repay 12 cents of every dollar earned over the pay period repayment threshold (eg, $374 per week). The deductions are considered to be sufficient and do not result in additional repayments provided they are within a determined threshold. If significant under-deductions occur, the employer is required to make compulsory extra deductions.
Borrowers who earn $1,500 or more of adjusted net income (income that’s not salary and wages and adjustments) and whose total income including salary or wages is $20,636 or more are required to make payments on this income.

Repayment thresholds - New Zealand-based borrowers
New Zealand-based borrowers receiving salary or wages are required to repay 12 cents (10 cents before 1 April 2013) of every dollar earned over the pay period repayment threshold, eg, $367 per week. The deductions are considered to be sufficient and do not result in additional repayments provided they are within a determined threshold. If significant under-deductions occur, the employer is required to make compulsory extra deductions.
Since April 2013, borrowers who earn $1,500 or more of adjusted net income (income that's not salary or wages and adjustments) and whose total income including salary or wages is $20,584 or more are required to make payments on this income.
The annual repayment threshold will increase from 1 April 2017.

Repayment thresholds - Overseas-based borrowers

The overseas-based repayment obligation will not decrease as the loan balance decreases, but can increase if the loan balance increases.
