Frequently asked questions

What counts as net worth in NZ?

Net worth = assets (cash, KiwiSaver, PIE funds, direct shares, home, rental property, vehicles) minus liabilities (mortgage, student loan, credit cards).

Include my primary home?

Yes — use market value. Homes are illiquid (real estate commission 2-4%). The liquidity ratio separates liquid from illiquid assets.

Tax-advantaged % by age?

Under 30: aim for 60-70% (KiwiSaver + PIE funds). 30-44: 50-60%. 45-59: 40-50%. 60+: drawdown strategy matters more. NZ's main tax-advantaged structures are KiwiSaver and PIE funds (capped at 28% PIR vs 33-39% marginal).

How do I improve tax-advantaged %?

Contribute at least 3% to KiwiSaver (full employer match). Add $1,042.86/year to get the $521.43 government Member Tax Credit. Move non-KiwiSaver savings into PIE funds (capped at 28% vs your marginal rate).

NZ tax-advantaged account types?

KiwiSaver (employer match + government MTC + locked until 65). PIE funds (earnings capped at 28% PIR rather than marginal). FIF rules on overseas shares > NZ$50k. Principal residence is not taxed on sale (outside bright-line).
