Official Statistics from the Ministry of Social Development (MSD)
These statistics count the number of pensions that are deducted from NZ Super, not the number of pensioners - as some pensioners might receive more than one overseas pension and from different countries. However, the difference in numbers is negligible.
You find the quarterly numbers in the Excel tables of MSD's website: https://www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/statistics/benefit/#LatestBenefitFactSheetsrelease1

1. Amounts are per year in NZ$
2. These statistics from March 2021 and June 2019 count the number of pensions that are deducted from NZ Super, not the number of pensioners. The number of pensioners might be a little lower, as some pensioners receive several overseas pensions if they have worked and contributed to retirement schemes in different countries.
2. The number of pensioners includes only those who receive a portion of NZ Super, and be it only a few dollars. Those who miss out on NZ Super completely are not included.
3. The "Other" category combines countries with fewer than ten pensioners each.

Not included in these statistics are the pensions of those pensioners who do not receive any NZ Super at all. In total the amount pensioners are denied could be in the region of NZ$ 500 million, perhaps even much higher.
Number of deductions December 2015 Deductions June 2015
Annual deduction bands Number of pensioners
NZ$ 5,000 and under 49,073 (Dec. 2015 approx. 24,744)

Over NZ$ 15,000 765 (Dec. 2015 approx. 1,727)
The figures in the category over NZ$ 15,000 and a proportion of those in the category 10,001 to 15,000 included pensioners who had a Kiwi partner who had never left the country. They did not receive any NZ Super and, on top of this, had to pay for their partners' NZ Super (Spousal Provision).
