Going self-employed?

Working for yourself brings more freedom - and more responsibility for your KiwiSaver.

When employer contributions stop, your KiwiSaver no longer runs in the background. It's worth understanding what that change could mean, and whether your current approach still makes sense.

Working for yourself changes the picture

Moving to self-employment changes how your KiwiSaver grows. In just a few minutes, you can see what your current contribution plans could mean for your future.

If you'd like personalised advice afterwards, we'll recommend whether we'd change anything - and explain why.
