Meal vouchers in Romania may increase to 50 lei per day, but only a fraction of employees benefit from the maximum amount. Currently, only 40% of workers receive the full value of 45 lei daily, with taxes reducing their actual earnings. If the proposed increase is approved, employees could see a monthly total of 1,050 lei, but after taxes, the gain would be around 85 lei. Employers are not obligated to raise the amount, and the increase could positively impact the economy, potentially adding 2.4 billion lei annually.
