Average take-home Salery
 

There are threads putting people off moving to New Zealand because of the low wage they may receive.

Can people please post the Average weekly / monthly take-hame wage for as many professions as possible.

I will be a class 5 truck driver when we get there and my wife is a Senior Social Worker in UK so please add these if you know the salery.

THIS isn't a bad place to start and you can get down to reasonably specific work areas if you go through the listings.

Seek.co.nz are also in the process of compiling a NZ salary survey which will possibly give a more comprehensive view when complete?

I had no real idea on whether the salary I had been offered was any good or not because, try as I might, I could not find a single bloody thing about pharmacists wages in NZ :sneaky:

According to your link I have been offered just above the median wage :) (that's a smug smile in case no-one realised!)

Re: Average take-home Salery
 

Call me a pedantic statistician, but the definition of median is that exactly half the population will earn less!

Re: Average take-home Salery
 

Various positions(senior) in Auckland. They aren't always advertised as that high but the right person can negotiate them upwards. My OH was offered a job with Rodney District Council which was originally advertised at approx
$95k but they eventually offered him $125k after negotiation. For various reasons, including the salary (still too low for his level of experience & the salary he was already on) he didn't take it.

Average take-home Salary
