Ausbildungsvergütung is the monthly salary an Ausbildung trainee is paid from day one, rising each training year. Amounts vary by sector and region — healthcare and industry tend to pay more, hospitality and retail less. It is real pay, subject to reduced social contributions, and helps cover living costs while you train.
Why it matters for applicants from Pakistan, India & Bangladesh
This salary is what makes an Ausbildung viable without wealthy sponsors — and, importantly, it can count toward the proof of funds the visa requires, cutting the blocked-account amount.
