New Zealand small-business industry and employee-size economics, 2025

Compare aggregate income, expenditure, operating-profit and wage intensity across selected New Zealand service and trade industries and the 0, 1–5 and 6–9 rolling-mean-employee bands before setting a scenario for pricing, workforce or cash-flow analysis.

  • highest operating profit to income ratio: 23.5%
    Stats NZ governed row M:a_0.
  • highest wages to sales funding ratio: 40%
    Stats NZ governed row N:c_6-9.
Methodology and limitations

Stats NZ Annual Enterprise Survey 2025 financial-year provisional aggregates for ANZSIC06 divisions E, G, H, M, N and S and rolling-mean-employee bands 0, 1–5 and 6–9; 18 normalized rows.

Select the 2025 rows for Construction; Retail Trade; Accommodation and Food Services; Professional, Scientific and Technical Services; Administrative and Support Services; and Other Services, limited to source size-band codes a_0, b_1-5 and c_6-9. Activity units and rolling mean employees are counts. All financial values are source-published NZD millions. operatingProfitToTotalIncomeRatio = operating profit before tax / total income wagesToSalesFundingGrantsSubsidiesRatio = salaries and wages paid / sales, government funding, grants and subsidies Derived ratios are rounded half away from zero to four decimal places.

  • The 2025 release is provisional. Stats NZ states that the 2023 and 2024 series in the source CSV were revised; later releases may revise these 2025 values.
  • The selected six ANZSIC06 divisions and three employee-size bands are a bounded decision-support subset, not a representative cross-section of every New Zealand industry or every AES business.
  • The a_0 band records zero rolling mean employees. It does not prove that no person works in an activity unit: working proprietors and other non-employee labour are outside this employee-count measure, and rolling mean employment is a twelve-month average.
  • The source measure named sales includes government funding, grants and subsidies. The wage-intensity ratio is therefore not a pure wages-to-customer-sales ratio.
  • Rows are aggregate industry-size totals, not medians, distributions or matched-peer benchmarks. Do not treat a ratio as a target margin, recommended wage budget or prediction for an individual business.
  • Operating profit before tax is used exactly as published and is not reconstructed as total income minus total expenditure.
  • No inflation, seasonal, population-composition or firm-mix adjustment is applied.

Update cadence

  • Quarterly review - 3 tracked sources or datasets

Local terminology

  • GST registration tests use taxable-activity turnover and an explicit charging-GST signal.
  • KiwiSaver inputs require the supported effective date and eligibility scope.

Common interpretation risks

  • Confirm taxable-activity and zero-rated supply treatment before applying GST.
  • Confirm KiwiSaver eligibility and effective period before relying on employer-cost inputs.
