The amount of the grant contains two components: on the one hand it depends on the daily subsistence rate of the target country, which is to be multiplied by the number o days (exclusive of the days of the journey), the other component is to be calculated on the basis of the travel distance. These figures are contained in the table below:

 

Receiving country	1-14 days	15-60 days
Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom	112 € / day	78 € / day

Travel support based on distance:

 

100 – 499 km	180 €

Erasmus+ grants only contribute to the implementation of the trip abroad, they do not always cover all the costs and expenses incurred during the journey and the visit.

  

The start day of the mobility period is the day on which the participant must first appear at the receiving institution and the last day is the day on which the participant must last appear at the receiving institution.

 

Travel time is excluded from the mobility period.
