What is the mobility budget?

The mobility budget is a flexible arrangement whereby employees who are entitled to a company car can exchange it for a budget. This budget can be spent on various mobility options, including environmentally friendly company cars, sustainable means of transportation such as bicycles or shared cars, or even housing costs closer to work.

The benefits of the mobility budget

The mobility budget offers numerous benefits to both employers and employees:

• Flexibility: Employees are given the freedom to adapt their mobility needs to their personal circumstances.

• Sustainability: It encourages the use of environmentally friendly means of transportation.

• Cost savings: For employers, introducing the mobility budget is often a budget-neutral operation.

• Tax benefits: For employees, this can lead to attractive net benefits, given that certain expenditures within the budget are completely exempt from taxes and NSSO

The practical side

For practical implementation of the mobility budget, companies can use digital tools (are you familiar with Payflip's? 😉 ) to manage spending and integrate it into payroll. This allows an employee, for example, to choose a combination of housing costs, a train pass, and an electric bike, all within the established budget.

Towards an integrated mobility strategy

The mobility budget is an example of how companies can respond to the changing needs of their workforce. By offering flexible and sustainable mobility options, organizations are building an inclusive, dynamic and future-oriented work environment.
