I’m enrolled in the ASB KiwiSaver Scheme, can I still get the annual government contribution if I’m on a savings suspension?
Last Updated: 08 Jul 2025
Yes. If you are on a savings suspension, you can still get the annual government contribution if you're eligible; however you'll need to make voluntary contributions of at least $1,042.86 during the year to get the maximum government contribution of $260.72. Making voluntary payments won’t affect your savings suspension.
KiwiSaver members who have a taxable income of over $180,000 per year will not be eligible for the annual government contribution. Please see the Inland Revenue website for more details.
