Employee, already familiar with the commuter benefit?
The commuter benefit is a fringe benefit that employers can offer to their employees for journeys between home and the workplace. For the employee, the benefit is tax-free up to EUR 3,400 per year.
Season ticket or Mobility Budget?
Auto-renewing season ticket
The season ticket is an easy choice for those who travel often. It is also the most economical alternative when you make six journeys a week or more. Once activated, the season ticket will remain valid indefinitely on your phone. All you need to do is keep your phone on you when travelling. By default, the travel zones for the season ticket on the HSL app cover the distance between your home and your workplace. You can use the ticket within its area of validity for all of your journeys, including trips you make in your spare time.
New: Flexible Mobility Budget
The flexible Mobility Budget is a new form of commuter benefit that can be used to purchase tickets via the HSL app. The Mobility Budget is ideal for travel needs that change from day to day. Your employer grants you a flexible budget that you can use to purchase single, day and season tickets on the HSL app.
Advantages of the commuter benefit
Tax-free benefit
The benefit is tax-free for you up to EUR 3,400 per year.
Sustainable choice
Walking, cycling and public transport are sustainable modes of transport. By choosing sustainable modes of transport, you can reduce your carbon footprint.
Exercise through commuting
Those who commute by public transport take on average 2,000 steps more per day than those who commute by car. Walking to your stop has a positive effect on both your body and your mind.
Take time for yourself
When you use public transport instead of a car, you avoid the hassle of driving and finding a parking space. You can spend the journey doing something you like, such as reading or listening to audiobooks, while a professional driver takes you safely to your destination.
