Blocked account (Sperrkonto) calculator

How much you need in a German blocked account (Sperrkonto) for a student visa, and what you can withdraw each month.

How it works

For 2026 the required amount is €992 per month, so €11,904 for a year. Once you are in Germany you can withdraw up to €992 each month.

The amount is set by the German government and can change each year. Check the German mission in your country before you pay.
