Erasmus Kit works out your Erasmus+ grant and brings together what your university asks of you and what awaits you abroad: how much money to pay up front, whether a flat is trustworthy and what those who went before you reported. Free, cookie-free and with the source of every figure.

Europe
Same destination, different grant.
The European Union sets the ranges and each National Agency decides its amount. What you get depends on the country you leave from, and so does when you get it.
Compare your country‘Minimum’: each university can pay more. National Agencies, 2026 call.

What those who went before you learned

How Erasmus Kit works
Free, always
No commission or affiliate links. Sponsorships are labelled, and nobody who rents out flats or lends money can advertise.
Every figure with its source
With the date it was accessed and whether it has been checked in the original document.
Your data, on your phone
No account, no cookies. What you type stays in your browser.
Warning signs, not verdicts
We tell you what we see in a listing and what we can't check.
Erasmus Kit complements the official tools (Online Learning Agreement, Erasmus+ App, OLS); it does not replace them.
