Nutanix offers a Commuter Benefit Program (CBP) that helps you pay for expenses associated with your commute to work (including costs for public transportation and parking) using pre-tax dollars that are deducted from your paycheck.
HealthEquity administers the CBP for Nutanix employees. To learn more about the program, visit the HealthEquity portal or review the HealthEquity: Commuter QuickStart Guide.

The CBP lets you use dollars from your paycheck before taxes are taken out to pay for eligible transportation expenses. This can lower your taxable income and help you save money on taxes.
You must be an active, regular employee who works at least 20 hours a week.
All elections will take place on the HealthEquity portal. To register online:
You can elect to contribute up to the IRS limit of $270 per month for transit expenses and $270 per month for parking expenses on a pre-tax basis. The funds in your commuter account are yours to use, tax-free, toward eligible expenses. Any unused cash balance in your account at the end of each month will carry over to the next month.
You may choose to contribute over the pre-tax maximum per month for each account type. The amount you elect for the month in excess of $270 will be subject to taxation.
Qualified, work-related transportation costs include transit expenses (e.g., bus, subway, train, commercial vanpool) and parking expenses (e.g., parking at or near work, parking at or near transportation service site, park and ride expenses).
Use your HealthEquity debit card to pay for eligible workplace commuting expenses at approved vendors. (Note: Eligible purchases are limited to the corresponding account balance available on the card.) You can also choose a variety of options to use your commuter funds and submit claims, including: Smart Cards, Buy My Pass, Pay My Provider, or Pay Me Back.
