Your $1,400 KiwiSaver contribution attracts $1,155 from your employer (after 17.5% ESCT) plus $260.72 from the government. Of an extra $5,000, you would keep $4,038. Going from $35,000 to $40,000 is worth $155.29 a fortnight after PAYE.
$40,000 is less than a full-time year at the $23.95 adult minimum wage ($49,816), so it usually means part-time hours: about 32 hours a week at that rate. Your repayable income over the $24,128 threshold is $15,872, so IRD collects $158.72 a month towards the loan.
Total cost to your employer, KiwiSaver included: $41,400.
