So long as you contribute the minimum amounts required, with the AXA KiwiSaver Scheme you choose how much to save. You can also choose how your money is invested. We work with you to make sure that your savings are on track to meet your retirement goals.
AXA KiwiSaver Scheme works in the long term
You can access your savings when you reach the age at which you are eligible for NZ superannuation (currently 65) or after 5 years of membership (whichever is later). If that’s a long way off, then that’s good simply because you should have more money when you do reach 65. Even if you don’t have a regular income you can join the AXA KiwiSaver Scheme.
Choose how much you want to save
If you are employed, it can be either 2%, 4% or 8% of your gross salary or wages. Once you’ve made your choice and notified your employer, this contribution is automatically deducted from your pay each payday, you don’t need to do anything else.
You can pay your lump sum contributions directly to AXA through the Inland Revenue.
$1,000 Kickstart
When you join KiwiSaver, the Government will give you a $1,000 kick-start. Subject to certain criteria, each year the Government will also currently give you up to $1,042.86 in the form of a member tax credit to match the contributions you’ve made for that year.
And so does your employer
If you are employed, your employer will contribute 2% of your gross salary or wages to your AXA KiwiSaver Scheme account subject to certain exceptions.
