Contribute as you earn

You can choose to contribute* 3%, 4%, 6%, 8% or 10% of your before-tax pay. Your employer will usually contribute 3% as well. If you’re self-employed (and not paying PAYE) or not currently in paid employment, you can choose how much to save and how often you contribute.

Boost your balance

You could get a government contribution* of up to $260.72 a year, if you're a KiwiSaver member living in New Zealand, aged 16–65, and earn $180,000 or less. The government will contribute 25¢ for every $1 you put in - up to $260.72 a year, when you contribute at least $1,042.86 annually.

Buying your first home

After being a KiwiSaver member for at least three years, you may be able to use most of your KiwiSaver money to help buy your first home. **
