Bike to Work Calculator
Estimate what a bike, e-bike or cargo bike could cost you through your employer's Bike to Work (Cycle to Work) scheme. The calculator separates the amount covered by the scheme from anything above the limit. Your payroll department confirms the actual figures.
1. Configure Your Package
Illustration only, not tax advice. Limits are from Revenue's Cycle to Work scheme guidance (checked 26 Oct 2026). The employer pays for the bike and you repay the scheme amount by salary sacrifice over a period of up to 12 months. Any amount above the limit gets no tax saving: you pay it separately, or if your employer pays it, it is treated as a taxable benefit. Your actual saving depends on your income, tax credits, PRSI class and USC, so ask your payroll department to confirm. Revenue: Cycle to Work scheme

Frequently Asked Questions
Key statutory guidelines regarding Irish Bike to Work scheme eligibility and rules.
What are the statutory Bike to Work limits in Ireland?
Under Irish Revenue statutory regulations, the limits are €1,500 for pedelec e-bikes (electric assist up to 25 km/h, motor ≤ 250W), €3,000 for cargo or e-cargo bikes, and €1,250 for standard pedal bicycles. Safety equipment such as helmets, locks and lights counts toward the same limit.
Can I purchase an e-bike that costs more than €1,500?
Yes. If an e-bike package costs €1,850, up to €1,500 can go through the scheme. The other €350 gets no tax saving: you pay it separately, or if your employer pays it, it's treated as a taxable benefit. Your employer decides how the extra is handled.
Are electric scooters eligible for the Bike to Work Scheme?
No. The scheme covers new bicycles, pedelecs (pedal-assist e-bikes), cargo bikes and related safety equipment. Electric scooters, mopeds and motorbikes aren't bicycles, so they don't qualify.
How frequently can I use the scheme?
Normally once in every four-year period. Your employer or scheme provider can confirm the date you're next eligible.
How do I collect or receive my bike?
You can collect from our Dublin City Centre showroom at 157 Capel Street, Dublin 1, D01 F5P1 (Tue–Fri 11:30–18:00, Sat 11:30–17:00). Delivery options and costs for your bike are confirmed with your quote.
Where do ongoing servicing and repairs take place?
Servicing, warranty work and diagnostics take place at our workshop at 157 Capel Street, Dublin 1 (D01 F5P1), for e-bikes and ordinary pedal bikes. Repairs are by booking only (no walk-in repairs), and we don't accept repairs by post or courier. See repair prices and booking.
