Pay equity is a global issue, as more jurisdictions introduce laws and regulations to review pay gaps. In New Zealand, the government launched a new toolkit in November 2024 to combat the gender pay gap, which currently sits at 8.2%.
The Gender Pay Gap Calculator is part of that toolkit and is available on the Ministry of Women website.
