Furniture Allowance Calculator

Overcome shipment challenges

With the recent supply chain crisis coupled with a worldwide focus on climate change targets, shipping goods using freight has been increasingly challenging – and costly!

Better support your assignees

Not all mobile employees have furniture to bring on an assignment. For unaccompanied assignees who leave their family at home or young workers renting furnished apartments, getting new furniture at the host location may be the only solution.

Including a one-time furniture allowance in the assignment package may help solve any challenges – both for you and your mobile employees. Mercer’s Furniture Allowance Calculator ensures you provide the benefit fairly and consistently across locations and family sizes, as well as tailor the calculation to fit your policy and grant flexibility to the assignees.
