€600 per employee.
An allowance, not a subsidy.
Employers may put up to €600 per employee per year into workplace health promotion without payroll tax or social security contributions falling due, under § 3 No. 34 EStG, the German Income Tax Act. That is an allowance, not a subsidy — and a ceiling, not a target; in practice a fraction of it is usually enough. EasyWHP makes the process behind it simple enough that you can spend your attention on the effect rather than on forms.

📅 Annual health calendar
Every health occasion of the next 12 months — straight into your calendar. You get an automatic reminder four weeks ahead. Never stare at a blank page again.
Not every expense is tax-free. These are.
§ 3 No. 34 EStG allows two routes: certified prevention courses (route 1) — and your own measures within a structured process following the statutory health insurers' prevention guide (route 2), with no certification at all. The only things excluded are plain benefits in kind with no health purpose: fruit baskets, coffee, vouchers.
- ✅ Certified prevention courses (route 1)
- ✅ Your own measures within a structured process (route 2 — no certification)
- ✅ Movement, nutrition, stress, mental health — as a guided process
- ❌ Plain benefits in kind with no health purpose (fruit basket, voucher)
EasyWHP builds both routes into the planner: ready-made certified courses, and your own documented process. You pick an occasion, the documentation runs in the background — and at year end everything is in one place. This is not tax advice; we are not permitted to give it. Whether the exemption applies in your case is for your tax adviser to confirm. We only set you up so that they can.
Health gets concrete – on the dates already in your calendar.
The year brings the occasions. EasyWHP brings the frame: the right measure proposed, the invitation drafted, participation documented, impact measured. All you have to do is say yes.

Nina suggests fitting measures, invites the team and documents everything in the background. 30 minutes a week are enough to keep a cleanly documented health promotion process running.
Two routes to the exemption — both covered
§ 3 No. 34 EStG allows two routes: certified prevention courses under § 20 SGB V (route 1) — and your own measures within a structured process following the statutory health insurers' prevention guide (route 2), with no certification at all. EasyWHP covers both: ready-made courses from the marketplace, and your own documented process.
Documentation for the tax office — at the push of a button
EasyWHP produces every record automatically: which measure, who took part, what it cost. Available on demand for payroll and for a tax audit. No more paperwork.
From scattered activities to a documented process.
Many companies stop at loose one-off activities — because the process behind them looks like bureaucracy. EasyWHP takes you step by step from scattered activities to a structured, documented health promotion process.
No process
The allowance exists, but nothing behind it. Isolated activities, no documentation, nothing connected.
First attempt
First measures are running, but documenting them by hand is laborious. What ties the activities together is still missing.
Structured
Regular measures on both routes, automatic documentation, a process anyone can follow. Payroll and a tax audit find everything in one place.
Optimised
An established, documented health promotion process runs smoothly — plus measurable effect through fewer sick days and stronger retention. The payroll tax saved makes the road smoother, but it is not the reason to take it.
A €600 allowance per employee. And the process that makes it usable.
