Frequently Asked Questions

How does Government contribution work?

For every dollar you invest in your KiwiSaver account between 1 July and 30 June, the Government will give you another 25 cents, up to a maximum of $260.72! To get the maximum amount you need to invest $1,042.86 to your KiwiSaver account. 

Don’t worry if you can’t make the full $1042.86. You will still receive 25c for every $1 you have contributed.

*Note. Previously the Government contribution was $521.43. The new amount of $260.72 goes into effect on 1 July 2025, for the payment run of July/August 2026.
