Gym Benefit
The gym benefit allows employees to pay for their gym membership through a salary sacrifice arrangement, resulting in potential savings of approximately 8% on National Insurance contributions. Additional savings, which may vary by provider or membership type, could increase the total discount.
How does it work?
Employees give up part of their salary in return for a gym membership. As the employer, you pay for it upfront and deduct the cost over 12 months from their gross pay. Employees on the basic rate of tax save 8% on the product, via an National Insurance saving. Combined with a discount from the gym, the employee is saving between 8-40%.
