How KiwiSaver works
KiwiSaver is a voluntary savings plan to
help you with retirement saving.
- It is open to all people aged under 65 who are New Zealand
citizens or entitled to live here permanently.
- If you are eligible, you can open a KiwiSaver account by
contracting directly with a scheme provider, such as Aon.
Making contributions
You can make regular or lump sum payments into your KiwiSaver
account.
- As you are self-employed, the amount you will contribute
every year is agreed between you and your scheme provider. It will
be a dollar amount rather than a percentage of income. The minimum
contribution with AonSaver is $200 a year. Alternatively you may open the account by completing a Direct Debit form. Click here to display the form.
- You can only have one KiwiSaver account. If you become
employed at any time, let your employer know if you already have a
KiwiSaver account. KiwiSaver contributions deducted from your
salary or wages will be paid into your existing account.
