What else will you pay – now and at renewal?
what to askAsk for every fee in writing: setup, integrations, add-ons, VAT, and what happens to the price when the term ends.
how perky answers
Here is every fee, as it stands on our pricing page.
Setup
No setup fees on Attract and Engage. Retain has a one-off setup fee, quoted up front, because its Flex Pots, Flex Mastercards and expense management are built for you.
Payroll and HRIS integration
Available on all three packages.
The integration build is bespoke work, scoped against your systems and priced on application.
Maintenance is then £150 per month on Attract and Engage, and carries no recurring fee on Retain.
Add-ons
The Reward Bundle is optional, at +£1.50 per employee per month.
Term, renewal and VAT
All prices are per employee per month and exclude VAT, billed monthly on a 12-month term.
Your price can’t rise in the first 12 months.
After that, any rise needs at least 90 days’ notice and can happen at most once a year.
If a rise is more than inflation (CPI) plus 5%, you can leave.
Once the 12 months are up, your plan continues month by month until either side gives three months’ written notice.
Will your employees actually use it?
what to askAsk for the provider’s own usage figures, and how they count an active user.
how perky answers
87%of activated employees use Perky every month
76%of employees activate in their first month
We count an employee as active in a month when they use at least one Perky service. (Perky platform data.)

how switching works

Three steps, timed to your notice.

Time it to your notice
Tell us when your current contract’s notice falls due, and we’ll time your launch around it.
Send your employee list
Send us your employee list, and we set up your organisation and co-branded app.
Running agreements carry on
Salary sacrifice agreements already running don’t end when you switch.

Every salary sacrifice agreement already running carries on under its original terms until it finishes.

That covers every scheme you have in place, from tech to annual leave trading. Car leases and bike hires are the most common, and usually run the longest:

Car leases, for example2–4 yearsUsual length of a car lease, under its original agreement.

Bike hires, for example12–18 monthsUsual length of a bike hire, under its original agreement.

PayrollOne fileDeductions for every running agreement keep going through your payroll. Bringing them into your Perky payroll report is included at launch.

the maths

How Perky can pay for itself

When employees give up salary for cycle to work, an electric car or workplace childcare, you don’t pay employer National Insurance on the salary they give up: that’s 15% of it in 2026/27, while their pay stays above £5,000 a year. For an electric car, the saving is net of the Class 1A NI you pay on the car’s benefit in kind.

illustration

Whether the savings cover your fee depends on which schemes people join, how many join and what they earn. If the Employment Allowance already covers your whole employer NI bill, there’s no cash saving.

Figures are illustrative. Perky does not provide tax, accounting or legal advice.
