if i want take home, in my pocket monthly pay of $NZ5000 what pre-deductions salary am i looking for? likewise if i want $NZ6000 or 7000

just trying to suss some stuff out, and maths not being my strong point, thought i'd ask here rather than trawling through the tax calculators etc!

thanks everso!

You need to be looking for around $90k per year for $5000 take home per month.

I too would concur with the above. Very roughly the 1st 38K at 20%. the balance at 40%. I know there is a mid figure of 34% and the top rate is just below 40% (I think) but these calculations will also account for the ACC levy which could be about 4% (ish).

thanks all - that's really helpful!

Hi on 85000k you will bring home just over 5000k per month
Have to say after a time you should keep looking as to what the market is paying like for like my husband looked at his last year went back to his manager and had a pay rise of 22%

Well done you managed to not trwl through the tax calculators like the rest of us did and got someone else to do it for you!

tee hee... hum... that wasn't my intention and i'll really need to check out detail by doing my own trawling... however, i figured someone would know from experience roughly, and that would be a good starting point!! honest
