Final pay calculator
Estimate final pay: unused annual leave, 8% holiday pay, public holiday extension, alternative holidays and notice.
What you'd normally earn in a week.
Total gross earnings over 52 weeks ÷ 52. The higher of the two is used for leave.
Treat your unused leave as taken straight after your last day. Count public holidays on working days in that window, including any that the extension pushes into.
Excluding leave payout and redundancy compensation.
Estimated gross (excl. final wages)
$0.00
Estimate only, before tax, and excluding wages for hours worked in your last pay period. Redundancy compensation isn't counted in the 8% base. Employers may use different (but legally compliant) calculations. If your payslip is far off, ask for an itemised breakdown and contact Employment NZ on 0800 20 90 20.
