Mobility Budget: swap your company car for an electric bike
The Mobility Budget is a Belgian legal scheme that allows your employees to convert their company car into sustainable mobility alternatives — including an electric bike on lease, fully exempt from taxes and social contributions.
A budget the employee chooses how to spend
The Mobility Budget is a Belgian government measure (law of 17 March 2019) that allows employees with a company car to give it up — or downgrade to a lower category — and receive an equivalent budget to invest in more sustainable mobility solutions.
This budget can reach the full value of their company car, within a range of €3,233 to €17,244 per year, and cannot exceed 20% of the employee's gross annual salary.
Good to know: The employer must have provided a company car for at least 3 months. The employee must also have had one (or been entitled to one) for at least 3 months.
Eligibility conditions
The 3 pillars of the Mobility Budget
The budget is split freely across 3 pillars. For soft mobility (pillar 2), the tax advantage is total — ideal for an electric bike.
More eco-friendly electric car
The employee can choose a less polluting company car. From 1 January 2026, only 100% electric vehicles will be eligible for this pillar.
Soft mobility & public transport
This pillar covers sustainable mobility solutions: bike (electric or not), scooter, train or bus pass, carpooling, etc. This is where KAMEO comes in.
Net cash — at 38.07%
The unused balance from pillars 1 and 2 can be received as cash. This cash is taxed at a flat rate of 38.07% (solidarity contribution). No extra employer contributions.
For the employer
For the worker (pillar 2)
Win-win for employer and employee
For the employer, the Mobility Budget is completely neutral: no additional employer contributions on any of the 3 pillars. The cost remains identical to that of the replaced car.
For the employee, pillar 2 is particularly advantageous: no social contributions, no taxes, no benefit in kind. It's an immediate net gain.

Pillar 2 (bike + public transport) is fully exempt — Julien saves ~€40 in tax every month on this item alone.
Soon mandatory for all companies
The 2024 law made the Mobility Budget progressively mandatory for employers who provide company cars.
Fewer than 15 workers: Very small businesses remain exempt from the obligation, but can of course offer the scheme voluntarily.
