How Much Is the German Blocked Account in Your Currency?
Convert euro student costs — blocked account, rent, insurance, semester fees — into INR, USD, GBP, and other currencies with a daily rate. For 2026 visa planning the standard blocked amount is €11,904 for 12 months (€992 released monthly), not the older €11,208 figure many blogs still quote.
Note: Rates update daily. Actual bank or transfer rates (e.g., via Expatrio or Fintiba) may differ due to fees. Rates by Exchange Rate API

Worked example
Default the tool to €992 (one month of blocked-account release). At an illustrative 1 EUR = ₹90, that is about ₹89,280/month, or about ₹10.7 lakh for the full €11,904 year — before provider setup fees and your bank’s FX/SWIFT charges. Always leave a buffer so the German balance still shows €11,904 after transfer fees.
