Why NZ Pathway

Every number is checkable

Rules, wage thresholds and occupations come straight from Immigration New Zealand's official pages — each with a source link and the date we last verified it.

Free and private by design

No accounts, no paywalls, no tracking pixels. Your calculator inputs are processed in your browser and never sent anywhere.

Built by an applicant

The site is maintained by someone going through the 6-point SMC process right now — these tools exist because we needed them ourselves.

Bilingual and current

Complete English and 中文 versions of everything, plus a dated policy log that tracks INZ changes as they happen.
