Up to $521.43 in Member Tax Credits each year (50 cents Gov. contribution for every $1 you contributed up to cap amount)
3% Employer Contributions if you are contributing to your KiwiSaver from your wages

When you are over 18 years of age and begin a new job, you are usually automatically enrolled in a default KiwiSaver scheme. From here you have eight weeks to determine if you wish to remain in KiwiSaver or not. You may also change to the KiwiSaver scheme of your choice – contact us for more information.
KiwiSaver is also available for the self-employed and those not currently working – contact us to learn more.
