Self-employed Kiwis are falling behind on retirement

No employer contributions means you're missing out on the 3.5% employer minimum (rising to 4% from April 2028) that PAYE workers get on top of their salary.

Most business owners reinvest everything back into the business and assume they'll sell it to fund retirement - but business valuations don't always work out.

The wrong KiwiSaver fund can cost you tens of thousands over your working life. High fees and mismatched risk profiles are incredibly common.

How OnPoint Advice helps

Retirement gap analysis

We calculate where you're tracking versus where you need to be - based on your actual lifestyle expectations, not generic assumptions.

KiwiSaver review

Personalised plan

We build a retirement strategy that works alongside your business - including KiwiSaver, investments, and any property plans.

What business owners say

I'd been in a conservative KiwiSaver fund for 12 years without realising. Letisha switched me to a growth fund - the projected difference over the next 15 years is over $80k.

As a tradie I always figured I'd sell the business to retire. Letisha helped me see that wasn't a sure thing and set up a proper plan B.

Frequently asked questions

Can self-employed people contribute to KiwiSaver?+

Yes. Self-employed people can make voluntary contributions and still receive the government contribution of up to $260.72 per year (25c per $1 on the first $1,042.86 you put in, capped from 1 July 2025; only if your taxable income is below $180,000). You won't get employer contributions unless you also earn PAYE income.

Is KiwiSaver enough for retirement?+

For most business owners, no. KiwiSaver is a great start, but depending on your lifestyle expectations you'll likely need additional savings or investments. We'll help you see the full picture.

How do I know if I'm in the right fund?+

It depends on your age, risk tolerance, and how long until you retire. Many people are in a conservative fund when they should be in a growth fund (or vice versa). A quick review can make a big difference.

What fees am I paying?+

KiwiSaver fees vary significantly between providers - from 0.2% to over 1.5% per year. Over a working lifetime, that difference can add up to tens of thousands of dollars.

Is the advice really free?+

Yes. Letisha provides a free initial review and recommendation. As a financial adviser, she's paid by the product provider if you choose to switch - not by you.
