Making the most of your KiwiSaver account
How to make your KiwiSaver savings work even harder.
Grow your balance faster
Here are some ways to get the most from your KiwiSaver savings.
If you're self-employed or not employed
You can still get the most from KiwiSaver. And if you're contributing and are eligible, you'll also get the Government contribution.
Are you on track for retirement?
- How much you may have when you retire
- How much you’ll need for the retirement lifestyle you want
- What you can do if there’s a gap.
Choosing the right fund for you
With each of the ANZ-managed KiwiSaver schemes, you have a choice of seven funds to invest in. The fund you choose can make a big difference to the amount of money you have when you retire. You can change your fund choice anytime.
You can choose a fund by selecting from one of two options:
Choose the right tax rate
It’s important to check your Prescribed Investor Rate (PIR) annually to make sure you’re paying the right amount of tax on your KiwiSaver account.
Why is this important?
- If your PIR is too high, any tax over-withheld will be used to reduce any income tax liability you may have for the tax year and any remaining amount will be refunded to you. Inland Revenue will notify you if you're due a refund.
- If your PIR is too low, you’ll be required to pay any tax shortfall as part of the income tax year-end process.
We may be notified by Inland Revenue to update your PIR if they believe it is incorrect. We are required to apply this updated PIR. However, you can provide us with a different PIR if you believe it is incorrect.
