Basic amount and supplementary amount (Grundbelopp och tilläggsbelopp)

The basic amount is the school voucher each pupil generates. The supplementary amount is extra funding for pupils with extensive support needs.

The basic amount (grundbelopp) is the base funding that each pupil generates for their school. It should cover instruction, premises, meals, student health services, and administration. The supplementary amount (tilläggsbelopp) is an additional sum for pupils with extensive support needs that go beyond what the basic amount covers.

Supplementary amount

The supplementary amount is applied for by the school from the home municipality and assessed on an individual basis. It may apply to, for example, pupils with disabilities who need a personal assistant, specialised learning materials, or other extensive interventions.
