Where Does Your Tax Go?

Enter your annual income to see your estimated income tax and how the government allocates spending across New Zealand.

Your Annual Income (before tax)

This calculator estimates income tax only. It does not include ACC earner's levy, student loan repayments, KiwiSaver contributions, or tax credits (e.g. IETC, Working for Families).
The spending breakdown uses NZ Treasury Budget data and shows how total government spending is distributed. It is not a direct trace of your personal tax dollars.
This tool is for educational purposes only and is not tax advice. For your actual tax position, use IRD myIR or consult a tax professional.
