What New Zealand counts as pay, and over what period
- Stats NZ publishes Household Labour Force Survey (income) for JUN 2025 YEAR.
- Household survey — published only at ANZSCO major-group level
- Rows are used exactly as released. Where the agency suppressed an estimate for sample-size reasons, the cell stays empty rather than being filled with a near-enough figure.
- Every wage on these pages is also read a second way — converted at the exchange rate and adjusted for New Zealand's own price level — because a NZD figure means nothing to a reader outside New Zealand until it is.
annual (NZD) = as published by NZL adjusted (US$) = annual / PPP(NZL)

What people ask next
- Where does New Zealand salary data on this site come from?
- Stats NZ, Household Labour Force Survey (income), reference period JUN 2025 YEAR. It is published openly and used here unmodified — no self-reported salaries and no modelling.
- How many occupations does New Zealand publish pay for?
- 9. That is a small number by international standards, and it is a fact about what the agency releases rather than about this site — so the other dimensions it does publish are given their own pages.
