- Our comparisons
One place to compare every EOR in New Zealand.
Whether you’re hiring your first Kiwi employee or moving an existing team onto local contracts, start with the shortlist that matches your situation.
Best EOR in New Zealand
The full ranking, scored across eight criteria.
Best for small teams
Providers that work for 1–5 hires, with no enterprise minimums.
Lowest total cost
What you actually pay once ACC, KiwiSaver and FX are in.
Strongest on compliance
Who gets the Holidays Act and payday filing right.
EOR vs your own NZ entity
When a local subsidiary beats an EOR — and when it does not.
Not sure where to start?
Answer five questions about headcount, timeline and budget, and we'll shortlist the three EORs that fit.
- Why NZ EOR Hub?
Built for New Zealand, not copy-pasted from a global list.
NZ law, not generic advice
Every provider is assessed against the Employment Relations Act, the Holidays Act, KiwiSaver and ACC levies — the four things global roundups get wrong.
Real cost, not 'from' pricing
We show the full monthly cost per employee, including the statutory on-costs and FX margins that quotes leave out.
Scored the same way, every time
Eight weighted criteria applied to every provider, so a side-by-side comparison actually means something.
Updated as the market moves
Pricing, coverage and NZ entity status all change. We re-check every provider quarterly and date every page.
- Our methodology
How we score every EOR in New Zealand.
The same eight-criteria framework is applied to every provider on this site. You can see the score, the reasoning behind it, and anything we could not verify.
NZ entity & registration
Does the provider hold its own New Zealand entity and IRD registration, or sub-contract to a local partner?
Cost, fully loaded
Platform fee plus KiwiSaver, ACC levies, FX margin and any onboarding or offboarding charges.
Payroll & leave accuracy
Holidays Act calculations, payday filing to IRD, and how public holidays and annual leave are handled.
Support & onboarding speed
Time from signed contract to first payroll, and whether you get a named contact in a New Zealand timezone.
