Are you interested in bicycle leasing through your employer? And are you curious about the impact on your gross wages and Social Security benefits? You'll find the answers to your questions here.

What changes to your gross wage?

If you lease a bicycle through your employer on a monthly gross wage substitution basis, your gross wage will be a bit lower. This affects the calculation of certain social benefits and additional benefits, such as:

  • Statutory pension

  • Maternity, sickness, unemployment or work accident benefits

  • Holiday pay

  • End-of-year bonus

  • Group insurance

How big is the impact?

Thanks to the gross-to-net ratio, the impact on your Social Security benefits and advantages is usually small. Plus, through bicycle leasing, you enjoy tax benefits and additional services that are often included in your lease package. If you choose a lease bicycle, it therefore makes good financial sense.
