The lunch benefit, or Lounari, is the most popular employee benefit in Finland, and it's not for nothing! The tax-supported lunch benefit encourages maintaining healthy eating habits and brings a well-deserved break to the working day. The importance of the benefit is shown in coping at work, shared lunch times and direct cost savings for both the employer and the employee.

Edenred Lounari is up to 25% tax-free benefit that is loaded to employees' accounts on a monthly basis. The amount to be loaded varies according to the number of monthly working days of each employee (on average 21 working days/month). The lunch benefit is work day-specific and intended to be used once a day. The Tax Administration determines the daily minimum and maximum payment limits for the benefit
The lunch benefit can be offered to employees as a fringe benefit (as a favorable salary increase) or as a lunch deduction (charged from the employee's salary).
A lunch benefit on top of salary is like a salary increase. By offering a lunch benefit on top of the salary, the employer can save up to 25 %.
The lunch deduction is charged to the employee's salary. 25 % of the lunch benefit is tax deductible, i.e. the employee pays the remaining at least 75 %.
