How Meal Vouchers Work

Your trainees, temporary workers, or employees can benefit from meal vouchers. For more information, see: Who is eligible for meal vouchers?

You are free to set the value of the meal vouchers as you wish, but to be exempt from Social Security contributions, the employer's contribution must meet these two limits:

• It must be between 50 and 60% of the voucher value.

• It must not exceed €7.32 (from 1 January 2026).

For more information, see: Face value: What are the exemption conditions?

You are free to choose the management and organisation you prefer, however, we recommend loading at the end of the month. For more information, see: How to calculate the number of meal vouchers to credit for my employees?

Meal vouchers can be used Monday to Saturday, at any time, up to a limit of €25 per day, in establishments with a CNTR (National Commission for Meal Vouchers) approval. There is no minimum spend required (except that set by the retailer). If your beneficiaries work on Sundays and public holidays, simply configure this option.

By default, Swile meal vouchers are automatically carried over from month to month and year to year. They do not expire. For more information, see: Validity period of meal vouchers (automatic carryover)
