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

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.
