Labour / Contractor hourly rate estimation tool

Contractor hourly rate estimation tool

We’ve developed a contractor hourly rate estimation tool. It’s intended to help growers understand a contractor’s charge-out costs, with a view to ensure:

  • the contractor’s employees are being paid at least the minimum wage; and,
  • the contractor’s charge-out is reasonable.

Contractors can also use the tool to calculate a charge-out rate that covers their costs, including paying workers at least the minimum wage.

The tool is available to download here.

More information about the minimum wage is available at Employment NZ.

The tool is an estimate only. NZKGI disclaims any liability from using the tool.
