Why does it cost less?

With salary sacrifice, the agreed amount is taken from your gross salary before Income Tax and National Insurance are deducted.

For example, for an £8,500 Roman over 12 months, a qualifying higher-rate taxpayer could see:

£708 gross monthly salary sacrifice

minus

Approximately £298 in Income Tax and National Insurance savings

equals

Approximately £411 reduction in monthly take-home pay

The full £708 is sacrificed from gross salary, but the customer’s spendable take-home pay falls by approximately £411 because less Income Tax and National Insurance is payable.

Your exact result will depend on your earnings and personal circumstances.
Can I choose any Roman model?

Most Roman road, gravel and time-trial bikes can be purchased through Cycle to Work, provided the value is accepted by your employer’s chosen scheme.
Is there a maximum bike value?

There is no universal £1,000 Cycle to Work limit. However, your employer or scheme provider may set its own maximum certificate value. Check with your HR department or speak to us before applying.
Can I include accessories?

Approved cycling and safety equipment may usually be included, depending on your employer’s scheme. This can include items such as helmets, lights, locks, mudguards and luggage.
How long does the process take?

Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
Do I own the bike immediately?

No. Cycle to Work normally begins as a hire agreement. At the end of the initial agreement, your provider may offer an extended hire period or another ownership option. The exact terms depend on the scheme your employer uses.
Do I have to use the bike only for commuting?

The bike can also be used for leisure riding. Under the scheme’s rules, it should principally be used for qualifying journeys, such as travelling to work or part of the journey to work.
What if I don’t know which scheme my employer uses?

Ask your HR or payroll department which Cycle to Work provider your employer uses. Alternatively, contact Roman and we’ll help you identify the next step.
Can salary sacrifice affect other benefits?

It can affect salary-related benefits or statutory payments in some circumstances. Customers should check the terms with their employer and scheme provider before applying.
