Freelancer Duties & Salary in New Zealand

In New Zealand, a freelancer, also known as an "independent contractor" or "self-employed professional," is an individual who offers their specialized services to clients on a project basis. An exciting fact about freelancing in New Zealand is the country's breathtaking natural landscapes and its strong focus on sustainability. Work opportunities for freelancers can be found in cities such as Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, particularly in industries such as IT, design, marketing, and tourism.

The main duties of freelancers in New Zealand involve client acquisition, project management, and delivering high-quality work. They are responsible for prospecting and acquiring clients, preparing project proposals, negotiating contracts, and ensuring the successful completion of projects. Freelancers also handle administrative tasks such as invoicing, tax compliance, and maintaining client relationships.

Key skills required for freelancers in New Zealand include excellent communication and networking abilities, self-motivation, adaptability, and technical expertise in their respective fields. Proficiency in English is essential for engaging with local and international clients. Relevant experience, supported by a strong portfolio and industry certifications if applicable, contribute to higher rates and increased opportunities.

The expected salary range for freelancers in New Zealand can vary depending on the industry and expertise. For example, a freelance graphic designer in Auckland may charge between NZD 40 to NZD 80 per hour, while a freelance software developer in Wellington could earn around NZD 50 to NZD 100 per hour. Rates may be influenced by factors such as the freelancer's experience, demand for specialized services, and the complexity of the projects undertaken.

What is the difference between a fixed price & negotiable gig? arrow-right
When you set a fixed price gig, the price is non-negotiable, so anyone applying for the gig agrees to the price set in the gig listing. Negotiable gigs have no price set on the listing, but allow the gig lister and gig workers to negotiate through the private chat portals. Once an agreement is made, the scope or works and price is updated on the gig listing and agreed to by both gig lister and worker. With a negotiable gig, you can also make a change to the scope of the gig once it is in flight. Please note, any new price is just for the additional work, not the total value of the old and new.
