KiwiSaver Warrant of Fitness (WOF)
KiwiSaver is a savings initiative designed to help you prepare financially for your retirement.
It is both a work-based scheme where you and your employer contribute to your savings, and a voluntary scheme the self-employed or those not formally employed can participate in.
The Government provides a number of benefits that make KiwiSaver a very worthwhile investment for virtually every New Zealander.
There are a number of benefits provided to KiwiSaver members
Government Contribution
To help you save, once you are 18 years old, the Government will provide up to $521.43 for the first $1,042.86 you contribute each year until you reach the age of 65.
Compulsory employer contributions
Your employer will contribute a minimum of 3% less ESCT (Employer superannuation contribution tax) of your gross salary or wages to your KiwiSaver account.
First home purchase deposit subsidy
After 3 years of contributing to KiwiSaver, you may be eligible for a first home purchase subsidy to pay deposit payments for a first home before the sale and purchase goes unconditional (e.g. initial or progress payments for homes bought off the plans).
Choosing the correct KiwiSaver for you
Choosing to save into a KiwiSaver scheme is an important financial decision. Government and employer KiwiSaver contributions will help you build your retirement wealth. The key is to choose a KiwiSaver scheme that is tailored to your personal situation and aligned with your overall financial goals.
