What is KiwiSaver?
KiwiSaver: Build Wealth, Build Your Future
KiwiSaver is a government-initiated savings scheme meant to assist Kiwis in preparing for retirement while offering other benefits such as the first-home withdrawal. Over time, your contributions build a base, as do those from your employer and from the government. In some cases, these funds can in turn help you in purchasing your first property.
There are several types of funds available, varying in their levels of risk and prospective growth. It would be best to choose one that aligns with your personal financial goals and your level of risk tolerance. Our KiwiSaver advisers here at Right Choice Finance can give you insight into your options, ensuring that you’re adequately prepared for decisions relating to your journey.
How KiwiSaver Works
KiwiSaver is designed to grow your savings consistently over time with combined contributions:
You choose a rate (3%, 4%, 6%, 8%, or 10%) deducted directly from your pay. You can also make voluntary lump-sum contributions.
Your employer adds at least 3% of your gross salary into your KiwiSaver account.
The government contributes up to $521.43 annually when you put in a minimum of $1,042.86 per year.
These contributions, together with investment growth, make KiwiSaver a powerful tool to reach your long-term financial goals faster.
Plan for a Secure Retirement
Start Now, Enjoy Later
When it comes to retirement savings, consistency and time are key. By starting early—even with smaller contributions—you give your money more opportunity to grow. Right Choice Finance can help you map out a plan that balances today’s needs with tomorrow’s security, so you can look forward to retirement with confidence.
Is Your KiwiSaver Still Right for You?
Life never stands still—and neither should your KiwiSaver plan. Over time, your financial goals, risk tolerance, or career may change. That’s why it’s important to review your KiwiSaver regularly.
Our advisers will help you check whether your current fund still matches your goals. With a quick review, we’ll ensure your savings strategy stays aligned with your lifestyle, so your future stays on track.
