Convert a New Zealand hourly rate into a salary, before and after tax.

Use for: 'what is $32 an hour as a salary', 'how much do I take home on
$28/hr', 'is $75,000 better than $36 an hour', 'what is my hourly rate
really worth after tax'.

Gives gross weekly, fortnightly, monthly and annual, then PAYE, ACC,
KiwiSaver and student loan, then take-home.

Args:
hourly_rate: Gross pay per hour in NZD.
hours_per_week: Ordinary hours a week. 40 is full time in NZ.
weeks_per_year: Weeks actually paid. Use fewer for seasonal or academic
work; 52 otherwise.
kiwisaver_rate: A DECIMAL, so 0.03 for 3%. Passing 3 is rejected.
has_student_loan: Repayments at 12% above the annual threshold.

Returns:
Gross at each frequency, every deduction, net annual, net weekly, and
effective_hourly_after_tax.

Note the two weekly figures answer different questions: net_weekly
always divides by 52, so it is what arrives each week across the year,
while effective_hourly_after_tax uses the hours actually worked. Quote
the effective rate when comparing a wage job to a salaried one.
