Key KiwiSaver Facts

 

  • You can access your KiwiSaver money once you reach the qualifying age for New Zealand Superannuation, currently age 65. You may also be eligible to withdraw part or all of your savings towards your first home (refer to our guide) or if you’re experiencing significant financial hardship (refer to our guide). 
  • KiwiSaver is a long-term investment. If you’re new to KiwiSaver or not sure about your investment strategy, speak to one of our financial advisers by emailing NZadvice@mercer.com or calling 0508 637 237. 

 

  • You can choose to contribute 3%, 4%, 6%, 8% or 10% of your before-tax salary or wages into your KiwiSaver account and your employer has to match your contributions by at least 3% (providing you are contributing at least 3% from your pay). 
  • The Government will also contribute 50 cents for every dollar you contribute to your KiwiSaver account, up to $521.43 each year (criteria apply).  
  • The tax rate applied to your KiwiSaver investment earnings, known as your Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR), could be 10.5%, 17.5% or 28%, depending on your income from the past two years. Use our online calculator to work out your correct PIR.
