About us

The wage and salary distribution for individuals statistics section reports on:

  • the number of wage and salary earners during an income tax year
  • the number of wage and salary earners by income band
  • the total value of wages and salaries paid by income band.

We update these statistics yearly. You can download data from the 2001 to 2024 tax years on the wage and salary earners statistics dataset page.

The latest update uses data extracted from Inland Revenue systems on 1 August 2023.

Data for the 2019 to 2023 tax years has been revised to expand the wage or salary income bands up to $1 million. This breakdown is provided in bands of $50,000 from $300,000. As data for these years has been updated, there may be some differences to numbers previously published.
