Answer
You get taxed at different rates for parts of you income:
You are taxed 12.5% when you earn up to $14000
21% from $14001 - $40000
33% $40001 - $70000
39% $70001 +
45% with no IRD number
You need to add on the ACC levy on top of this which is 1.4% for the 2009 financial year.
Here is an example to work out how much you should be taxed:
Johns taxable income for the year was $65238
up to $14000 at 12.5% = $1750
$14001 - $40000 at 21% = $5460
$40000 - $65238 @ 33% = $8328.54
Total tax to pay = $15538.54

Depending where you live you may have to pay different taxes but if it is any help in Australia and NZ you have to pay Goods and Services Tax (only if you are registered for GST - there is a criteria for business that need to be registered) and usually some form of pay as you go/ earn or provisional tax which is just pre paying tax during the year so that the end of year tax bill wont be so large. (This tax is just the normal tax you would need to pay on income earned - just like you as an individual) This is usually worked out by using you last years tax bill with normal uplift - it can be varied though if you think you are going to do a lot better or a lot worse than last year (warning: you must not be too far off the actual amount you earn if you are estimating because then you may get penalties and interest.) If you employ people you will also need to withhold tax for them which you have to also pay on a monthly basis.Summary of approximate amounts:- GST every quarter (the GST amount you collected in gaining your income minus the input tax credits you paid on your expenses)- Tax withheld every month on behalf of your employees- Provisional tax/ terminal tax or PAYG instalments every quarter.

The NZ dollar is currently about 80c US. And there are 100 cents to the NZ dollar. But coinage is only usable generally in the country of issue. Banks will handle notes, but not generally coins.
There is an excellent description of New Zealand's currency and its history in rbnz.govt.nz.
McCaw was reportedly on a NZ$6 million dollar, four year contract to play Super Rugby and for the All Blacks. That means NZ$1.5 per year or thereabouts, plus a personal endorsement deals he has going which would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollara each.
