Benefit rates in New Zealand are indexed annually to account for inflation and cost-of-living adjustments. For primary income-tested benefits (such as Jobseeker Support, the Sole Parent Support, and Supported Living Payment), weekly net rates vary by household structure. Meanwhile, New Zealand Superannuation (NZ Super) pays a single person living alone 1,110.30 New Zealand dollars per fortnight after tax on the M tax code (approximately 555.15 dollars a week), and couples where both partners qualify receive 854.08 New Zealand dollars each per fortnight.
