New Zealand payroll for Odoo: KiwiSaver, PAYE income tax, ACC earner levy, ESCT and student-loan deductions per Inland Revenue.
New Zealand KiwiSaver PAYE
New Zealand payroll for Odoo — KiwiSaver, PAYE, ACC earner levy, ESCT and student-loan deductions, computed per Inland Revenue
Run New Zealand payroll directly in Odoo. The module ships its own
payslip model with a fully unit-tested, pure-Python engine that computes
PAYE income tax, the ACC earner’s levy,
KiwiSaver contributions, ESCT and student-loan
repayments — built on hr with no Enterprise
dependency.
PAYE + ACC earner’s levy
Progressive income tax on the personal scale (10.5% / 17.5% / 30% / 33% / 39%) computed on Inland Revenue’s annualised basis for each employee’s IRD tax code (main, IETC, secondary and no-notification codes), plus the ACC earner’s levy on liable earnings up to the annual maximum. The income-tax scale is an editable model you adjust as the law changes.
KiwiSaver + ESCT
Employee deductions at the elected 3.5% / 4% / 6% / 8% / 10% rate (3% on a temporary rate reduction) and the compulsory employer contribution. ESCT is banded by each employee’s threshold amount and deducted from the employer contribution, so the net amount paid into the member’s account is exact.
Student loan & pay frequency
Student-loan repayments at the standard rate on earnings over the pro-rated repayment threshold. Choose weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly, monthly or annual frequency — the engine annualises PAYE and pro-rates every threshold accordingly.
Real IRD number validation
Every employee’s IRD number is checked with Inland Revenue’s weighted modulus-11 algorithm (primary and secondary weights and the valid-range test), so invalid numbers are caught before payroll runs.
Payroll run & register
Populate employees, compute every deduction per person with run totals, and download a CSV payroll register. A year-end PAYE square-up wizard reconciles the income tax withheld against the annual liability.
Editable, nothing hard-coded
PAYE brackets, ESCT bands, the ACC rate and cap, the employer KiwiSaver rate and the student-loan rate and threshold all carry the current statutory defaults and are editable per company — update them as Inland Revenue revises them.
Built for Community and Enterprise alike
The computation engine is pure Python and fully unit tested. The module
depends only on hr and mail — no
Enterprise hr_payroll — so it installs on Community
and Enterprise.
Compatible with Odoo 18, Odoo 19 and Odoo 20.
Disclosure
All rates, caps and bands carry the statutory defaults for the 2026/27 year and are editable per company. Confirm the current figures against the latest Inland Revenue guidance before running live payroll.
