Assuming I work full-time, I was wondering how much money I’ll need to make. I’m thinking about moving the North Island, maybe Auckland or Wellington. How much money will I need to make to survive?

If you work fulltime, the minimum wage should be enough provided you don’t have high standards when it comes to living- you can rent a room with in a shared house for as low as 100 dollars per week in Auckland. If you’re careful with money, you can get by with around 650 a week, including food, accomodation, etc. Hope that helped.

    depends how you want to live, but if its just enough to live and still go out, and save a little, then id say about 5 or $600 a week if your on your own and in a place on your on or you could get a house share, but yeah just depends on your situation..hope this helped though..

    About $100 a day should do it! so that would be about $20 an hour.

    The average wage of a New Zealand worker is $537 a week. Considering that the average food wage of a New Zealander is $70 week and gas, electricity, mobile phone, Internet and water bill equates to $200 and that other bills such as entertainment equates to about $50 it would advisable to earn over $700 week to live comfortably.
