Imagine if your employees could use the latest iPhone, a gaming PC, or the most advanced tablet as an employee benefit, and you could save on taxes at the same time. Sounds too good to be true? In this article, we explain what hardware leasing is all about.

Hardware leasing via salary conversion is an innovative model that offers significant advantages for both your company and your team. Your employees can lease state-of-the-art technology for 100% private use, while you as an employer can offer a free additional benefit.

- Smartwatches and wearables
Computers and work equipment:

Tax advantages for your company
Hardware leasing via salary conversion brings clear advantages for your company:
- No additional costs: As an employer, you don't pay a cent extra
- Minimal administrative effort: One-time setup, then everything runs automatically
- Attractive employee benefit: Strengthens your position as a modern employer
How salary conversion works
The process is very simple and transparent:
The monthly leasing payments are deducted directly from your employees' gross salaries. These amounts are completely tax- and social security-free, both for you as an employer and for your team. There is no upper limit on the value of the leased devices.
The leasing process: simple and efficient
Implementing hardware leasing in your company is straightforward:
- Select a partner: You choose a hardware leasing provider.
- Framework agreement: One-time agreement on the terms and conditions.
- Inform employees: Presentation of the new benefit.
- Device selection: Your employees choose their desired devices.
- Automatic processing: Salary conversion runs automatically.
The standard lease term is three years. After that, your employees can renew their contracts, choose new devices, or purchase their current devices at residual value.
Gaming PCs and high-end hardware: particularly attractive
The value of hardware leasing is particularly evident with higher-end devices. A gaming PC for €2,500 or a professional notebook for €1,800 becomes much more affordable for your employees thanks to the tax savings. At the same time, you position yourself as a technology-savvy employer who also supports the private interests of your team.
Sports gadgets and health promotion
Hardware leasing also supports workplace health promotion: fitness trackers, smartwatches, and e-bikes can be leased in this way. This allows you to combine benefits with health care, a sign of modern corporate management.
Conclusion: The smart way to higher employee satisfaction
Hardware leasing via salary conversion is more than just a benefit; it is a strategic tool for increasing employer attractiveness. Employees can be offered benefits with real added value at no additional cost.
Whether it's smartphones via mobile phone leasing, gaming PCs for tech-savvy employees, or tablets for flexible working, hardware leasing positions you as an attractive employer for qualified professionals.
At a time when benefits are decisive in choosing an employer, hardware leasing gives you a decisive advantage in the competition for the best talent. A benefit that costs nothing but has a big impact.
