On January 1, 2026, the price of the Deutschlandticket will increase from €58.00 to €63.00.

Initially, nothing will change from our side as a result of the price increase. How the price increase is handled is entirely your responsibility as an employer.
You now have the following options:

1. full refund of the new ticket price: you can decide to refund the full new price of the Deutschland-Ticket. In this case, the budget in the employer portal would have to be adjusted accordingly from the old price to the new price so that the full amount is available to the employees.

2. retaining the previous reimbursement amount: If you do not wish to make any adjustments, the previous reimbursement amount can be retained. Employees will then still be able to upload the Deutschland-Ticket, but will only be reimbursed the previous amount or the budget approved in the employer portal, but not the full new price.
