Annual cost breakdown

Where the hours go

This calculator shows direct employment cost, wages, employer KiwiSaver, and ACC employer levy. The ACC rate varies by industry classification; the default (0.67%) is a rough average, but you can look up your exact rate on ACC's website.
It assumes 4 weeks annual leave, 12 public holidays, and 10 sick days per year, the statutory minimums. It doesn't include recruitment costs, training, equipment, workspace, or payroll admin overhead, which vary by role and can easily add another 10–20% on top.
