Loimu membership fees for 2025 remain mostly unchanged
The Loimu Council decided on the membership fees for 2025 at their autumn meeting on November 30, 2024. Despite inflation, the membership fees for 2025 will remain mostly unchanged. Only the fee for Senior members will see an increase.
Loimu’s membership fee is a fixed monthly fee that takes into account the member’s life situation. The membership fee is tax-deductible.
For 2025, the fees for Full members remain unchanged:
- Full member: €390 per year or €32.5 per month
- Full member without unemployment fund membership: €327 per year or €27.25 per month
The membership fee can be paid either by paper invoice, in which case the annual fee is divided into four installments, or monthly via e-invoice or MobilePay. The monthly fee is calculated from the remaining annual fee, divided by the remaining months.
We recommend paying the membership fee either via e-invoice or MobilePay, as this ensures that payments stay up to date even if your employment situation changes during the year. More information on payment methods: This is how you can pay the membership fee
