Employer contribution rate

You must contribute a minimum amount equal to 3% of your employee’s gross wage, on top of their contribution.

You may choose to pay more than the minimum to your employees.

There are two ways you can change the contribution you make to your employees:

  • by setting the company default contribution higher, or
  • by setting a higher employer contribution rate for an individual employee using the instructions below.

Ace Payroll automatically deducts tax from the employer contribution. You have the option to pay tax on top of the 3% payment, rather than having it deducted from the payment.

See KiwiSaver ESCT calculation for more information on tax.
