How it works
Three steps to a clear comparison
Enter the meal budget
Choose a monthly budget from €20 to €300, the same range as the company ROI calculator. This is the amount your employer funds for meals.
Add salary and working days
Add your gross monthly salary if you like, and the working days in the month. The rates are flat, so the salary does not change the comparison. The working days turn the monthly budget into a daily one.
Compare the two
See the net amount you would receive as salary next to the value of the meal benefit, and the difference each month and each year.
Why is there a difference? Salary is paid after income tax and contributions. In this calculation, based on Albanian tax law, the meal budget through atWork is a tax-free employee benefit: no contributions and no income tax, so the full amount goes to lunch.
