Tax Free Benefit Up to 1200€ / year

There are several advantages for the company in offering an employee bicycle benefit. Here we have gathered some of the benefits that the benefit brings to the company.

1. A employee who exercises more feels better and produces better results.

2. Bike Benefit is an affordable and effective way to engage employees in your company.

3. With a Bike Benefit, it is possible to reduce the costs caused by sick day absences

4. Bike Benefit is a tangible and affordable way to participate in sustainability efforts.

5. With a Bike Benefit, you can strengthen the company's image and increase attractiveness as an employer.

6. Bike Benefit also works as a cost-effective reward system.

7. Biking is the fastest way to move around the city, which means that work matters can also be handled efficiently.

8. Reducing even a few parking spaces can bring significant savings to your company.

9. Electric bikes can inspire even non-exercising employees to move.

Pioneering and courage in matters of responsibility and sustainability are often rewarded with positive, organic visibility in the media and social media, which is a big win in terms of reputation building and development.

People who exercise 2-3 times a week have an average of 4.5 fewer sick days per year than those who exercise no more than once a week.

The price of one sick day is 351 euros on average for the company.

By supporting the benefit, you ensure that your employees take advantage of the benefit more widely, thereby reducing sick days and saving money.

All our leasing contracts include insurance for the bicycles. The insurance deductible is €150.

The value of the bicycle benefit is determined according to the fair value principle. If you acquire a Bike Benefit Bicycle with a leasing contract, the value of the bicycle benefit is considered to be the cost incurred by the employer, i.e. the leasing fee. If you own a Bike Benefit bicycle, the taxable value consists of the price of the purchase and the capital costs. Maintenance service costs can also be included.

The following equipment can be included in the bike benefit:

- Lights
- Fenders
- Lock
- Helmet
- Studded/Winter tires
- Pedals
- Bike Bell
- Cargo rack
- Saddle
- Kickstand
- Handlebar (if the driving position needs to be changed)
- Handlebar Stems (if the driving position needs to be changed)

If an employee chooses a bike that costs 100€ per month as part of their salary, 100€ of the salary is practically tax-free earned income. The remaining net earnings are reduced by less than €100, because the Bike Benefit amount is deducted from the employee's Gross salary.

For example, with a tax rate of 29.7%, the bike benefit valued at 100€ will actually cost around 50€ per month. Since the employee's taxable annual income decreases, their tax rate also decreases.

Unfortunately, Trade Entepreneurs (Toiminimiyrittäjä) can't use the Bike Benefit under the current tax regulations.
