The "Workride Offset" breaks down into two main components: tax savings and the smart use of your income. When you join the Workride scheme, you sacrifice a portion of your pre-tax salary for your chosen ride. This action reduces your taxable income, so you end up paying less tax overall. Furthermore, a portion of the money that used to go towards other commitments, like KiwiSaver or student loans, is now assisting in covering the cost of your ride. Together, these factors create a sensation of getting a significant discount on your ride's retail price, making the whole process feel much lighter on your wallet. This combined benefit is what we term the Workride Cost Offset.

Workride’s 32-63% cost offset range is achievable for employees who can enter a valid salary sacrifice agreement through participating employers. This applies to those working full-time at a minimum of the official NZ living wage, based on a 40-hour work week. For more information and conditions, please consult your employer or reach out to our support team. (Link to contact page)

By choosing a new ride through Workride, you're essentially swapping out taxed income for a new ride. The cost of the ride is taken from your pre-tax salary, which lowers your taxable income. With a lower taxable income, you pay less in income tax (PAYE) and ACC Levy, creating tax savings for you.

Instead of paying tax, and then buying a ride with what's left, we help you remove the tax step altogether meaning a lower cost to you!

When you choose a bike, e-bike, or scooter through Workride, we purchase that equipment directly from the retailer you’ve selected and provide it to you as part of your ride-to-work benefit.

The quoted ride price is the total amount Workride pays the retailer for your selected equipment. Retailers have the option to include a surcharge of up to 5% on ride orders when selling to Workride. This ensures all bikes in-store, including sale or clearance stock, can be accessed through Workride, keeping the program fair and sustainable for retail partners.

We’re committed to delivering a great experience for everyone involved. To help keep your order smooth and stress-free, please let the in-store team know you’re using Workride when you arrive and if the surcharge applies. This ensures you get the best service and everything is processed correctly with no surprises.

The term 'Annual Income' refers to the sum of all earnings an individual receives over a year from various sources. This comprehensive total includes wages from primary and secondary employment, as well as any other sources of taxable income reported to the Inland Revenue. For a detailed assessment tailored to your unique financial situation, consulting with your employer or seeking guidance from an independent financial advisor is advisable.

Workride offers a cost offset range of 32-63% for employees who enter a valid salary sacrifice agreement through participating employers. This benefit applies to those working full-time at a minimum of the official NZ living wage, based on a 40-hour work week. This covers almost all eligible employees. However, in the very rare case that your cost offset falls below this range, please consult your employer or reach out to our support team for assistance. We are here to help! (Link to contact page)
