Get $25 credit toward your Hnry fees when you open your account through our Hnry referral link. Hnry is the accountant and the software for NZ sole traders, freelancers and contractors, and it charges 1% + GST of the income that flows through your account instead of a subscription.

Quick answer: Use our Hnry referral link, choose New Zealand, and Hnry applies $25 credit to your new account, which offsets the 1% + GST fee it charges on payments you receive. The credit is for new customers and there is no code to type.

What is Hnry?

Hnry is a New Zealand tax and accounting service built for sole traders, freelancers and contractors. Rather than invoicing clients into your own bank account and facing the tax maths later, your clients pay into a Hnry account: Hnry calculates your income tax, any GST, and ACC levies, sets them aside and pays them to IRD, then pays the remainder out to you. It is aimed at people who earn from several clients and want the admin handled, and it also operates in Australia and the United Kingdom. Companies are not eligible.

Searches for "Hnry promo code", "Hnry discount code", "Hnry coupon NZ" and even the misspelling "Henry" all lead to the same thing, and it is a referral link rather than a typed code. You open the link, choose New Zealand, and the $25 credit is attached to the account you create. Nothing gets pasted at checkout, because Hnry has no checkout: the fee is taken from the payments that arrive in your Hnry account. See promo code vs referral code for how these mechanisms differ.

What Hnry offers in NZ

  • Automatic tax payments: income tax, GST and ACC levies calculated and paid to IRD as you are paid
  • Tax filings: your returns filed when they fall due, as part of the same fee
  • Invoicing: send invoices through Hnry and it follows up the unpaid ones for you
  • Expenses: snap receipts in the app, with a separate mileage tracker for vehicle costs
  • Allocations: automatic transfers to savings, investments or charities as money comes in
  • Payments and spending: several ways for clients to pay you, plus a Hnry Business Mastercard
  • Reports and support: business insights, and access to sole trader accountants rather than a call centre

For context, Hnry publishes its own comparison: traditional accounting software averages around $728 a year and traditional accountants around $1,920 a year, against its 1% + GST capped at $1,500.

How to claim this offer

  1. Open the Hnry referral link on this page. This is what attaches the $25 credit to your account.
  2. Choose New Zealand as your jurisdiction on the sign-up screen, then create your account. It takes a few minutes and there is no credit card step.
  3. Add your details about the work you do, so Hnry sets your account up for the right tax treatment.
  4. Invoice a client or give them your Hnry account details. Money paid in is where Hnry's 1% + GST fee is calculated.
  5. Check your first statement in the Hnry app to confirm the $25 credit has landed and is offsetting the fee.

Who Hnry suits in NZ

Hnry fits best if you bill several clients, do not want to think about provisional tax or GST deadlines, and would rather pay a percentage as you earn than a monthly subscription or an accountant's invoice. It suits trades, creatives, consultants, contractors and anyone invoicing regularly. It is a poor fit if you trade through a company, if you want to keep invoicing into your personal account and handle tax yourself, or if you receive many payments under $50, where the $0.50 minimum fee applies to each one.

Frequently asked questions

Hnry coupon vs promo code vs discount code: what's the difference?

Those terms all point to this page's Hnry offer. Hnry delivers it through a referral link, not a typed code: you open the link, choose New Zealand, and the $25 credit attaches to the account you create. There is no checkout on Hnry to paste a code into, because the fee comes out of the payments you receive rather than being charged up front.

How do I claim the $25 Hnry credit?

Open the Hnry referral link on this page, choose New Zealand, and complete the sign-up. The credit is applied to your new Hnry account, where it offsets Hnry's service fee.

Is the Hnry credit for new customers only?

Yes. The $25 credit is for people opening a new Hnry account who have not used a referral link before. If you already have a Hnry account, you can share your own referral link from inside the app instead.

Do I need a Hnry promo code to get the credit?

No. There is no code to enter and nothing to copy. The referral link carries your credit into the sign-up flow, which is why searches for a "Hnry promo code" return referral links rather than a code string.

What does Hnry cost in New Zealand?

Hnry charges 1% + GST of every payment into your Hnry account, capped at $1,500 + GST per year. Individual payments under $50 attract a minimum fee of $0.50 + GST, so it pays to batch small invoices. There are no monthly subscriptions and no credit card is required to join.

Can I use Hnry if I run a company?

No. Hnry is for sole traders, freelancers and contractors in New Zealand, and the same service runs in Australia and the United Kingdom. If you trade through a limited company, Hnry's service is not designed for you.

Where does my income go when clients pay me?

Clients pay into your Hnry account rather than straight into your personal bank account. Hnry works out the income tax, any GST, and ACC levies, sets those aside and pays them to IRD, then pays you the remainder. That is what makes the 1% fee the whole cost rather than an add-on to a separate accountant's bill.

Does Hnry file my tax return?

Yes, tax filings are part of the service: Hnry files your returns when they are due as part of the 1% + GST fee. Your questions are answered by sole trader accountants rather than a general support queue.

Will the $25 credit cover my Hnry fees?

It offsets them rather than covering them indefinitely. Because Hnry's fee is a percentage of the income that flows through your account, the credit lasts longer if you earn modestly and less if your invoices are large. The credit has no cash value and is not paid out to your bank account.

Can I claim the Hnry credit and Hnry's own offers together?

Not usually. Referral credits generally sit alongside your account rather than stacking with other promotions, and Hnry's terms apply. Check the fee shown in your Hnry account once you are set up if a discount looks like it did not land.
