Own contribution calculator
Enter the eligible costs, the funding rate from your call and the costs the grant does not cover. We do not assume a rate: the call states it.
We reply on the next working day. We name the fee in writing, in our reply to your inquiry. Scope and timing are confirmed in writing before work starts.

The funding rate is set by the call or work programme. An example from the legislation: for Horizon Europe, Article 34 of Regulation (EU) 2021/695 allows up to 100% of eligible costs, and up to 70% for innovation actions (up to 100% for non-profit legal entities); the work programme sets the maximum rate for each action.
Formula: grant = eligible costs × rate; own contribution = the rest of the eligible costs + costs the grant does not cover.
The grant amount is the maximum possible. The final amount depends on the costs actually incurred and accepted as eligible.
The result is copied into the message field on the contact page. You enter your name, email and other details there; nothing is added to the page URL.
