Making tax calculations easy to understand

Our story

Hi, I'm Taran.

I built this site because I wanted better New Zealand tax tools. As an entrepreneur I was constantly looking up tax rates, running calculations, and trying to understand how different taxes worked in plain English.

Most tools I found were either too complicated, buried inside accounting software, or just not very good. So I built my own.

TaxPop is a free reference guide with 31 tax types and 22 live calculators covering income tax, GST, PAYE, KiwiSaver, tax refunds, bright-line property tax, and more. Everything is linked to official IRD guidance so you can always verify the numbers.

The goal is simple: make New Zealand tax easier to understand for everyone.
