Income Limits

Income Limits for Housing Benefit to Finance Vocational Training (Berufsausbildung) in Germany 2025

Income limits for housing benefit are influenced by various factors, including the recipient's employment status and household composition.

Eligibility Criteria for Housing Benefit

To qualify for housing benefit in Germany, applicants must meet specific income limits that are adjusted based on family size and regional cost of living. Those undergoing Vocational Training (Berufsausbildung) may receive additional considerations in their calculations.

Vocational Training Compensation

Housing benefit is granted only if the applicant's income does not exceed certain limits. Earnings from vocational training (Ausbildung) and additional income are taken into account in the calculation.

Additional earnings

Additional earnings from side jobs, mini-jobs, or self-employment are taken into account in the calculation of housing benefit and can influence the grant amount.

Household Members

When receiving housing benefits, the income of all household members living together in the apartment is considered to determine the total income for entitlement calculation.

Simultaneous BAB

Simultaneous receipt of Vocational Training Assistance (BAB) and housing benefit is generally excluded, as BAB already covers housing costs and is considered a primary benefit.
