For each employee in each pay period you need to work out:

  • the amount of ESCT to deduct
  • your net employer contribution.

The easiest way is to use our PAYE/KiwiSaver deductions calculator.

ESCT is calculated on each whole dollar of your employer contribution.

Before you start

Gather your information.

For each employee you need:

  • the employee’s salary or wage for the pay period
  • the employee’s tax code
  • the employee’s KiwiSaver or complying fund contribution percentage
  • your contribution percentage
  • the ESCT rate.
