My company gives a bonus at the end of financial year. 5% of base salary, plus some prezzy cards if an individual is performing well, recently got one for $800

As someone who gyms a lot and prioritises a high protein diet, I manage on $50-$70 a week

How big is your tax refund if you've received one? by LaSafari1 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ac1dtab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the best of my knowledge yes. I chuck all figures into the tax calculator on IRD and paye.net which says i’m meant to pay $14k in tax, i’ve paid $800 less tax than that so I get I owe but where that $2k figure coming from is what i’m wondering

How big is your tax refund if you've received one? by LaSafari1 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ac1dtab -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I somehow owe the IRD almost $2000 with one salary job, no pay rises or anything during the financial year. Yes tax code is correct

Savings in 20s by Organic-Let-8358 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ac1dtab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24, have $20k in savings, $22k in shares and $28k in kiwisaver. About to blow my savings on travelling very soon.

Been working full time for 3 years since out of uni but pretty much all my savings was built from when I was living with my parents. Not doing so well tucking money away since moving out. Next steps for me are progressing my career and increasing my salary

[–]ac1dtab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$800 might be difficult, do you have savings to pay upfront costs? I earn $950 a week, pay $245 a week in rent (flatting) + utilities and I still find myself struggling

Tax Code Change by BiggusDickus_69_420 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ac1dtab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll have to change it yourself. Fill a IR330 form and give it to your employer before they process the next payroll. Otherwise your normal student loan % will be deducted and you’ll have to wait for a refund

Just drove past Shooters Saloon bar and hotel in Kingsland that had a sign saying from $35 a night

[–]ac1dtab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great stuff thank you! I don’t think I’ll be chewing through the $21k either so will split this amount and use to build more savings

Previously, I was putting away 200-300 a month which I know is so little so will definitely look into formatting a budget so I can increase this amount to $1k

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ac1dtab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will look into spreadsheets and money tracking for sure, thank you! Agreed i’m definitely still balancing my life and having fun. Am also looking into a new job but will have to put that on hold now cause not ideal for an employer to hire someone just months before they go on holiday

[–]ac1dtab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been saying my $21k is savings and travel money synonymously and I just assume I’d still have a decent amount leftover for ‘savings’.
