CYCLE TO WORK SAVINGS

What could you save?

Salary sacrifice normally reduces the salary on which Income Tax and National Insurance are calculated. The amount you actually save depends on your earnings, tax position, employer, scheme provider and the provider’s end-of-hire arrangements.

Use the Green Commute Initiative calculator for an estimate. Your employer or scheme provider’s own calculation and current terms should always take precedence.

GOOD TO KNOW

Before you apply

Who can use Cycle to Work?

Your employer must offer or approve access to a Cycle to Work scheme. If you use salary sacrifice, the deductions cannot reduce your cash earnings below the applicable National Minimum Wage. If that affects you, ask your employer or scheme provider whether another arrangement is available.

What bikes and equipment are eligible?

Cycle to Work can cover bikes, eligible electric bikes and cycling safety equipment. Exactly what can be included varies between providers and employers, so check the rules for your scheme before applying.

Does the bike have to be used for work?

To qualify for the tax exemption, the bike and equipment must be used mainly for qualifying journeys, such as travelling between home and work or between workplaces. Other personal riding is still allowed as long as it is not the main use.

When do I own the bike?

Cycle to Work starts as a hire arrangement. Ownership does not automatically transfer simply because your salary deductions have finished. End-of-scheme arrangements vary between providers and may include an extended hire period, returning the equipment or a separate transfer of ownership. Check your provider’s current terms before applying.

Please note: Cycle to Work rules, savings, eligible equipment and end-of-hire arrangements can vary between employers and scheme providers. Your employer’s and provider’s current terms take precedence.
