Calculation of Travel Expenses

 

The amount of travel expenses to be paid to the staff benefiting from Staff Mobility for Teaching Assignments should be calculated using “Distance Calculator”. The distance calculator can be accessed from the link down below:

 

http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm

 

Using the distance calculator, the km value of the two points, from the place where the personnel is located to the place of activity should be determined and the travel grant should be calculated using the table below.

 

The grant equivalent of the km, which is calculated in the distance calculator, in the following table is the round trip amount, and it is not multiplied by two.

 

Traveling with connected flights does not affect the distance that was found with the above-mentioned calculation.

 

Calculated "km" distance Grant amount
Between 10-99 km 20 €
Between 100-499 km 180 €
Between 500-1999 km 275 €
Between 2000-2999 km 360 €
Between 3000-3999 km 530 €
Between 4000-7999 km   820 €
8000 km and over 1.500 €

 

The starting point of the mobility is assumed to be the sending facility and the place where the activity takes place is the hosting facility.

 

If the travel starting point is a city other than the city where the sending institution is located or if the activity is taking place in a city other than the host city where the host institution is located -if this situation causes changes in the distance band- the travel invoices are requested and the staff is granted according to the actual distance band.

 

The beneficiaries who prove that the travel grant allocated according to the distance band in Table-4 does not cover at least 70% of the total travel costs may claim exceptional travel costs provided that they are certified.

 

The grant may not exceed 80% of the total travel costs. However, in this case, additional travel grants are not paid according to the distance band.
