Your situation
A few details about your housing and insurance situation.
Applies if you're statutorily insured (compulsory or voluntary) yourself. Not if you're covered under your parents' family insurance.
Applies e.g. if you were already 30 or older when starting your training, have worked at least 5 years since turning 18, or worked at least 3 years after a vocational training of at least 3 years (§ 11(3) BAföG). If unsure, choose No.
Important notice
This calculator gives a simplified, non-binding estimate based on the nationwide BAföG rules (as of 2026). BAföG is federal law — the amount is the same in every German state; only the responsible student finance office differs. Special cases such as studying abroad, children, disability, or hardship are not covered here. This calculation is not legal advice and does not replace an official decision.
