How much mobility allowance can I receive?

The mobility allowance is equal to the basic daily allowance without any increase.The amount of the allowance is therefore 37,21 € per day.

Without increases, you can receive a maximum of approximately 800 € per month for two months of mobility allowance before taxes.

We withhold tax from mobility allowance at the same withholding rate as from your earnings-related daily allowance.

Increases in mobility allowance

If the workplace is located or work-related training is arranged more than 200 kilometres from your previous place of residence, we can also pay an increase of 5,29 € per day to the mobility allowance.

Maximum duration of mobility allowance

The maximum duration of mobility allowance depends on the duration of the employment relationship. The subsidy period is

• 30 calendar days if the duration of the employment relationship is at least 2 months
• 45 calendar days if the duration of the employment relationship is at least 3 months
• 60 calendar days if the duration of the employment relationship is at least 4 months

Calendar days are all days of the week from Monday to Sunday.

If you apply for mobility allowance for training related to work, the duration of the allowance is determined on the basis of the length of employment following the training. 

The number of payment days differs from the length of the subsidy period

We can pay mobility allowance for a maximum of five days per calendar week. However, the maximum period of mobility allowance runs for each calendar day. This means that there are fewer payment days than calendar days. For example, a 30 calendar day allowance period has 20 to 22 payment days, depending on the month.

On the basis of part-time work, we can only pay mobility allowance for the days when you have been working. Here, too, the maximum duration of the subsidy runs for each calendar day.
