Make the most of your KiwiSaver account

Making small changes to your KiwiSaver account, and ensuring you get your full Government contribution entitlement each year if eligible, could make a big difference to your future savings.

Adjust your contributions

Your level of contribution can have a big impact on your future savings. You can vary your contributions (3.5%, 4%, 6%, 8%, or 10% of your before-tax pay)^ or if you’re self-employed or not employed, you can set your own level and frequency of contributions.
