10 alternatives and boosters for your salary

A salary increase: No employee should say no to that. But the salary poker does not always succeed. In our ranking, we therefore show you ten alternatives and boosters for your salary.

Employers can currently pay their employees tax-free up to 3,000 euros in inflation premiums. Converted, this can be more advantageous for the many employees than a classic salary increase.

Suppose you earn 4,000 euros, but would like a monthly salary increase of 200 euros. But the salary poker fails. But there is an alternative that can sometimes even be more lucrative net.

The advantage: Your employer can deduct the ticket from tax as a business expense and you can save up to 2,000 euros.
