Food vouchers with the new optimal value of 235 CZK, available through eStravenka, are here to bring positive changes in 2026. With rising lunch costs and the current economic situation, now is the perfect time to increase the value of meal vouchers and provide greater support to your employee.
What is the new optimal level of the food voucher?
From 2026, the new optimal value of the meal voucher is 235 CZK. This amount is based on the current rules and represents a favourable setting that will be appreciated by both employees and employers.
The basis is the state-approved meal allowance for business travel, which is CZK 185. Up to 55 % of this amount, i.e. CZK 129.25, is tax-free for the employee. It is recommended that a further 45 %, equivalent to CZK 105.75, be added to this amount. The result is an optimal nominal value of the meal voucher of CZK 235, which meets all the requirements for modern company benefits.
This change allows companies to support their employees more effectively in these challenging times.Increasing the face value of meal vouchers is simple and requires no additional paperwork. Simply select the new value of the meal voucher on your next order.
In addition, switching to digital eStravenka cards brings additional benefits such as reduced administrative burden and increased employee satisfaction.With the eStravenka, you save the time and costs associated with ordering and distributing traditional paper meal vouchers.
In light of these innovations, we can confidently say that meal vouchers for 2026 bring positive change that supports both employees and employers in the current economic environment.
