That works out at $72.12 an hour for 40 hours, or 3.0 times the adult minimum wage. Student loan repayments on $150,000 come to $15,105 a year. A $30,000 balance would take roughly 2.0 years at that pace, interest-free while you live here.

With $5,250 of employer KiwiSaver, the job costs $155,250.
