Wellness allowance — digital receipts, analysis and terms

In the Health Portal, the employee uploads their receipt, HR approves it digitally and the amount passes on to the payroll system. You see take-up by unit in real time.

  • Receipt handling
  • Dashboard included
  • Partner network

This suits you if…

  • Receipts are handled by email, in spreadsheets or in ring binders
  • You do not know what the wellness budget is being spent on
  • Employees are unsure what the allowance may be used for
  • Take-up varies sharply between departments and you do not know why

What's included

  • Digital receipt handling — the employee uploads, HR reviews and approves
  • Your own terms: you set the amount, the rules and the closing date in the portal
  • Take-up by unit and department in real time
  • An overview of budget, amount used and receipts awaiting review
  • Recommended partners in exercise, mental health, and body and relaxation

You set the amount, the rules and the processing time yourself — the portal administers what you have decided.

How it works

  1. 1
    The employee pays up front

    The activity is booked and paid for with any approved provider — and the receipt is kept.

  2. 2
    The receipt is submitted

    The employee uploads the receipt in the portal before the closing date you have set.

  3. 3
    HR reviews it

    The receipt is approved or declined digitally, within the processing time you have decided on.

  4. 4
    Paid through payroll

    The approved amount passes to the payroll system and is paid out the following month.

What you get out of it

HR is freed from the admin

Receipts, approvals and payroll records are handled in one place instead of in an inbox.

The benefit actually gets used

Clear terms and simple uploading mean more people use an allowance they already have.

Full control of the budget

You see the amount used, receipts awaiting review and the remaining budget per unit in real time.

Wellness allowance in the Health Portal

Wellness is its own part of the Promote module. Employees see their own balance under My profile, HR sees the whole organisation's take-up — and both work in the same view.

Questions & answers

The Swedish wellness allowance (friskvårdsbidrag) is tax-free up to SEK 5,000 per employee per calendar year. The employer decides what amount to offer — the portal administers the amount and the rules you enter.

Activities and services that promote physical health, such as gym membership, swimming, yoga, dance and massage. Activities without a clear element of exercise — such as massage, acupuncture and mental health — are tax-free up to SEK 1,000 per occasion. Activities that do involve exercise have no per-occasion limit.

Equipment, clothing, food supplements, competition entry fees, medical treatment requiring a licensed practitioner — such as naprapathy and physiotherapy — and activities without a clear health purpose.

No. The Swedish Tax Agency no longer publishes a binding list. The employer makes the assessment, on the basis that the activity should be of a simple kind and of lesser value, with an element of exercise or preventive wellbeing.

The employee pays for the activity themselves, keeps the receipt and uploads it in the portal. HR reviews and approves it, and the approved amount is paid out through the payroll system.

No. The allowance can be used with any approved provider. The partners in the portal are recommendations — selected on a holistic view of health and quality-assured by us.
