At Remunerator, we’ve spent over 35 years helping Australians get into their dream cars. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that a novated lease isn’t actually about the engine and the wheels; it’s about making life feel a little bit easier.
We often talk about "Total Wellbeing." It sounds like a big buzzword, but to us, it’s simple: it’s the feeling of having your finances sorted, your weekends free, and one less thing to worry about on your to-do list.
In 2025, financial wellbeing has evolved from a workplace "perk" to a core strategic priority. With inflation and housing costs rising, employees increasingly view financial health as more critical to their overall happiness than even emotional or physical health.
Here are 4 ways a novated lease helps you simplify life:
1. Financial Zen (Goodbye, Bill Stress!)
We all know that feeling when the registration, insurance, and a major service all seem to land in the same month. It’s a total headache for your budget.
With a novated lease, we bundle all those running costs into one simple, predictable payment that comes out of your pay automatically.
- The "Set and Forget" Factor: Since it’s all automated, you’re never caught short. This predictability is a cornerstone of financial wellness, allowing you to plan your life without the fear of "lumpy" expenses.
- More "Me" Money: Because you’re paying with a mix of pre- and post-tax dollars, you’re lowering your taxable income. If you've ever wondered How Novated Leasing Works, it's essentially a way to give yourself a pay rise just by changing the way you pay for your car.
2. Reclaiming Your Weekends
Life is busy enough. Why spend your Saturday morning haggling over the price of four new tires or waiting in line at the registration office?
When you lease through Remunerator, we take the "admin" out of your life. We use our buying power to get you better deals, and our team handles the heavy lifting. You get to spend your time doing what you actually love, while your car basically looks after itself.
The Lifestyle Shift: Peter used to stress about unexpected repair costs. Since switching to a lease, he’s saved thousands in tax and spends his Saturdays at his daughter’s footy games instead of at the mechanic. Check out more Real Life Examples of how this shift works for everyday Aussies.
3. The "Feel Good" Factor of Going Green
Interested in an EV but worried about the "Electric Premium"? You aren't alone, but the landscape has changed.
Because of the Electric Vehicle FBT Exemption, many EVs are now cheaper to lease than their petrol equivalents.
- Quiet & Calm: Enjoy a silent and smooth EV commute.
- Eco-Friendly: Aligning your lifestyle with your values feels good. Plus, skipping the petrol station forever is a pretty great perk!
4. Is It Time to Upgrade Your Life?
Total wellbeing is about balance. It’s about knowing your bills are covered, your tax is optimized, and your car is safe and reliable, all without you having to lift a finger.
