TRades & Services
Min $47281
Ave $53110
Max $58939
We've been in the Nelson and Bays region for 7 years now.
From what we both know of the employed trade-persons wages around here, I would say these figures are a good reflection.

Depending on the sector you work in will dictate your wage, private owned compamies can sometimes pay over the odds as they have no shareholders, but on the flip side their income can also be less so they might pay less.

I have been here 4 years now and have not been on a salary less than $60k and I have moved jobs 3 times
I am not sure if I earned 200k I would spend it ALL. I know what you mean though when one's wages go up over the years it all gets gobbled up eh? But to spend 200k a year????? Would be nice having a go though! I think the 13 year old Honda would go for a start!!

But it will depend on other factors too. We could easily spend $200k a year (if we had that coming in) but most of it would go on paying off our mortgage, putting in double-glazing & buying (desperately-needed) new furniture.

also remember the huge amount of tax payable on that salary

but yes we are no better off in what we spend but we are better off in that we are paying most of it into our mortgage as we want that cleared

Pfft, the average minimum in Healthcare and Medical is still almost 20k more than I earn as a midwife with a degree and 3yrs experience

When I left Birthcare 2 years ago I was on $28/hr with 10 years experience, a degree & a diploma. What really p!ssed me off was that we midwives were in charge of the nurses & they only got $1-2 less than us

Basically put we all live to and beyond our means, if we earn $60k we wil buy a house and car .... relative to that salary the same goes if you earned $200k you would buy a bigger house and better car .....

not always, Gary still has his old chugga that he bought off a friend when he got here for a grand, but to be honest there is no point buying another one as it sits at the heliport for 3 weeks at a time and when we home we use mine ( swift) that we bought when we arrived after selling our cars in the UK

we wont be buying a bigger house , this one is big enough lol. Though with that we dont have a huge mortgage as we put a lot of our UK money in it and have managed to pay a bit off in the last 6 months

I'm quite happy with the size of my house mostly. The only way I'd be moving to a bigger house is if I won lotto. I have a builder standing by .

OH could do with a new car though but that's way down the list
