• 1

  New Zealand publishes bonus tax figures in New Zealand Dollar, revised periodically — enter the rate currently in force for your case in New Zealand rather than an older stored figure so the result matches the official calculation.

• 2

  Currency is part of the math: this New Zealand bonus tax computes in New Zealand Dollar, so convert a foreign source figure first — applying a local rate to a foreign amount silently inflates or deflates the result.

• 3

  When comparing two options for New Zealand, run both through this bonus tax with the same rate and the same New Zealand Dollar basis; then the difference you see reflects the options themselves rather than an inconsistency between the two inputs.

• Gross and net are different numbers: a New Zealand Dollar salary quoted for New Zealand is normally gross, and the Bonus Tax result only matches your payslip after New Zealand deductions and contributions are subtracted. Confirm which side each input represents.

• Income tax is progressive: applying New Zealand's top marginal band to a whole New Zealand Dollar salary overstates the bill, because only the slice above each threshold pays that band. Split the income into brackets instead of one flat multiplication.
