Self-Employed? Why KiwiSaver is worth it
Many self-employed people don’t see the benefit of KiwiSaver so miss out on the rewards.
They know they won’t get the employer contribution, therefore, are hesitant to lock any of their money away until retirement. They also see it as their tax money that pays for the government contributions, so where is the real benefit?
If you’re self-employed your income may also be irregular and uncertain, so paying into KiwiSaver may be at the expense of paying other bills like your mortgage. Effectively, it can seem like trading your safety net today for some certainty in retirement.
However, an auto payment of just $20 per week will see you reach the maximum government contribution, or alternatively you can invest the $1042.86 when you have the money. This ensures that you aren’t leaving the government contribution of $521.43 on the table.
To better explain the benefits KiwiSaver can offer the self-employed, let’s take a look at an example:
