According to ONEM, there's been 53 mln service vouchers sold in Belgium in 2007.
At the price of € 6.70, this makes for € 355.1 mln of expenses for belgian households.
For each service voucher, the state pays € 20 to the serviceing company, which amounts to € 704.9 mln in immediate losses for the state ((20-6.70)*53000000) . The hourly payrate at service vouchers companies is around € 9.50. Which leaves € 10.50 per cheque or € 556.5 mln in total for the serviceing company to cover the overhead of running the business and for profit margins.
