The funding amount of Bafög for financing Vocational Training (Berufsausbildung) is determined by the individual financial situation of the applicant and their parents. The calculation takes into account the income and assets of both the parents and the applicant themselves. Additional factors such as the location of the training and the living situation – for example, whether the applicant lives with their parents or in their own apartment – also influence the amount of funding. For trainees who no longer live in their parental home, a housing allowance is granted. The maximum funding amount is set annually and may change depending on legal adjustments. The payment is made in monthly installments directly to the applicant's designated bank account. Typically, funding is granted for a period of 12 months, after which a follow-up application must be submitted. If any changes occur during the funding period, such as a move or changes in income, these must be reported to the Bafög office immediately, as they may affect the amount of funding.
