With salary exchange, the employee trades part of their gross salary for a bike. This lowers the taxable base, but the net cost remains low thanks to tax advantages and the bike allowance. The benefit of bicycle leasing depends on a few factors, including the tax rate. This depends, among other things, on the employee's marital status, the number of dependent children, etc. For a correct calculation of the net cost of bicycle leasing, it is best to consult a social secretariat. For a rough estimate, you can always consult our calculator.

If your balance is used up, maintenance and repair costs will be charged directly to you personally.

Annual maintenance of a bicycle will result in fewer problems, and therefore fewer repairs. An annual maintenance within your bike lease is necessary for every bike!

During a maintenance, services are performed with the goal of preventing wear and tear and repairs:

• checking and repairing lighting;
• lubricating the chain;
• tire pressure check;
• retightening of all bolts;
• adjusting gears;
• check headstock play;
• software update;
• adjusting brakes and replacing brake pads;

You pay for your maintenance or repair through your service voucher. The amount deducted from your service voucher is determined by the partner:

• Joule Local: the cost of maintenance and repair are according to your bike dealer's rates.
• Joule Mobile: the call-out cost, the cost of maintenance and repair. You can find that cost in the customer area.

Send an email to operations@joule.be and we will order a new bike key for you. The cost of the extra key will go from your service voucher. You always need two keys as proof for insurance in case of theft.

Bike leasing is a formula where the employer provides a bike for the employee. It can be budget-neutral via salary exchange or a mobility budget. Employees get a bike including insurance, maintenance, and roadside assistance, while you as an employer benefit from tax advantages and administrative support.

Bike leasing can be seamlessly integrated into existing plans. Employees simply choose to allocate part of their budget to a bike.

You ride for a lower net cost thanks to exemptions from 'voordeel alle aard' and social security contributions. You can still combine your lease bike with your commuting allowance, and services like insurance, maintenance, and roadside assistance are included. You’ll save time, skip traffic, and avoid parking stress. At the end of your lease, you can choose to buy the bike or start a new lease. It keeps you moving — without the big upfront cost or surprise repair bills. Bike leasing is often up to 40% cheaper and completely hassle-free compared to buying privately.

No — the benefit of a company-leased bike is exempt from taxes and social security contributions, as long as you use the bike regularly for commuting. That makes it much more tax-efficient than an equivalent cash benefit.
Keep in mind: accessories or extras outside the lease package may follow different rules. When in doubt, check your company bike policy or with your payroll provider. You can see how this exemption increases your net savings in the Joule calculator.

That depends on your tax rate, salary structure (e.g. gross salary exchange or bonus), lease term, and service package. On average, employees save tens of euros per month, plus extra savings on maintenance and insurance. The calculator gives you a personal simulation comparing lease vs. private purchase, and shows how the bike allowance further increases your benefit. That way, you can make an informed and transparent decision.

You can calculate your bike leasing using an online simulator like the one from Joule. By entering a few details such as the bike price, lease term, and salary information, you get a simulation of your leasing cost. This includes an estimate of both gross and net amounts, so you immediately see the monthly impact. Keep in mind that this is an indication. For a final calculation, you can always check with HR or your payroll provider.

Read our blog how much does bike leasing cost for employees and employers to learn more about the cost split between employee and employer. If you want a deeper dive into how the calculation works, we also recommend our blog on how to calculate bike leasing.

It is completely normal for bike leasing calculations to differ between colleagues. Factors such as salary, family situation, employment status, bike allowance, and contract duration all play a role. Even with the same bike, the net leasing cost can differ. That’s why calculating bike leasing is always personal. The simulator takes your situation into account and provides a tailored indication. Rather than comparing directly with others, focus on what it means for you.

After calculating your bike leasing, you will know whether the lease price fits within your expectations. The next step is to align with your employer, HR department, or payroll provider. They can confirm how the simulation translates into your actual salary package.

If you use a mobility budget, it is also worth checking the rules. In our blog mobility budget and bike leasing: 2026 rules update, you can read what to take into account.
