Making Cents of the Budget: What KiwiSaver changes mean for you, and could you get a pay rise? LIVE REPLAY
Manage episode 484207416 series 3606247
KiwiSaver’s been cut, so what should you do now?
In this special live episode of Making Cents, we unpack the 2025 Budget and what it means for your money.
Spoiler: the government just halved the KiwiSaver contribution. And if you’re earning over $180k? You’ll lose it entirely.
There’s a lot of noise out there, but this is where we get to the real talk.
We cover:
- What the KiwiSaver changes actually mean for your pay and your future
- Whether it’s still worth contributing (especially if you’re self-employed)
- The sneaky detail about employer contributions no one’s talking about
- How to build long-term wealth even when the rules keep changing
- Plus what global interest rates and US election chaos could mean for NZ investors
Joined by:

If you’re feeling frustrated or confused — you’re not alone. But the good news? You’ve still got options.
We'll break it down, calmly and clearly, so you can stay one step ahead.
