Contributions from your employer

If you're eligible, your employer will also contribute to your KiwiSaver savings.

If you're a KiwiSaver member making contributions from your pay, your employer also has to put money in. This is equal to 2% of your pay.

Your employer does not have to make compulsory contributions to your KiwiSaver scheme if:

• they are already paying into another eligible registered superannuation scheme for you (if your existing scheme meets certain criteria)
• you are under 18 years of age
• you are over 65 years of age, or have been a member of KiwiSaver for five years, whichever date is later
• you are not contributing (for example on a contributions holiday or on leave without pay).
