New Zealand businesses can now take meaningful action to drive down the gender pay gap with the launch of an online calculator today, Minister for Women Nicola Grigg says.

“Women are paid, on average, 8.2 per cent less than men and this gap has barely moved since 2017 - which is why reducing it is one of my key priorities as Minister for Women,” Ms Grigg says.

The Gender Pay Gap Calculator toolkit is now live on the Ministry for Women’s website, making it easy for businesses to calculate – and then address – their pay gaps.
