The mileage (D) distance between your old and new administrative residence is measured by the shortest route by road.
If you move to the same municipality, the mileage is fixed at 5 kilometers.

4 | 43 m3 + 3.5 m3 per additional child | 28 + 3.5 m3 per additional child | 50 m3 + 3.5 m3 per additional child |
The lump sum allowance (I) shall be calculated according to the following formula:
- I = 568.94 + (0.18 x V x D) if V x D is 5 000 or less
