New Zealand employer payslips and IRD deductions

Employers must give employees written pay information. This payslip template covers pay period, gross earnings, PAYE, KiwiSaver, student loan, ACC earners’ levy lines where enabled, and net pay—with tables driven from versioned IRD configs when you opt into automatic calculations.

Pay frequency (weekly, fortnightly, monthly) changes which deduction table applies. Select the cycle that matches your payroll run, not the calendar month alone.

Worked example: fortnightly engineer

Gross $3,200.00 fortnightly with 3.5% KiwiSaver employee contribution might show $112.00 to KiwiSaver, PAYE around $520.00 depending on the tax code, and student loan if above the repayment threshold. Net might approximate $2,450.00 before voluntary deductions.

Employer KiwiSaver at 3% adds $96.00 employer super—displayed separately from employee net. ACC earners’ levy calculations sit in config; verify against ird.govt.nz when rates change April each year.

Tax codes and special cases

M SL, ME, and other codes change withholding materially. Enter the code your employee declared on the IR330. The tool does not validate IRD numbers or issue ESCT for closely held companies.

Holiday pay and alternative pay cycles (four-weekly) may need manual overrides—use demo data to learn the layout, then type bureau figures if automatic mode disagrees with payday.

Privacy for small teams

No TFN or full bank account fields are required by default. Drafts live in localStorage on the device you use to print payslips for your pub or dental practice.

Employees should receive payslips through your secure channel; Doxnest does not email them.

Reconciliation with payday filing

Payday filing obligations remain in myIR. PDF net pay should match what you remit and what lands in employee accounts.

Export JSON each pay run if you have multiple sites with the same legal employer entity—branch names can change per period without retyping IRD numbers.

FAQs for this tool

Is my data sent to Doxnest when I use this tool?

Document contents stay in your browser for PDF generation. We do not receive your payslip, invoice, or counterparty details in v1.

Is this an official government document?

No. This is an unofficial template for your records. Always confirm requirements with your regulator or adviser.

Does the preview match the PDF?

Yes. Preview and download share the same render path so totals and layout stay consistent.
