Overview

• Wohngeld is paid in advance under §26 WoGG on the last banking day of the previous month, so the November 2025 installment is transferred at the end of October.
• In Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Niedersachsen, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein and Thüringen, the October 31 holiday shifts the transfer to Thursday, October 30.
• In Berlin, Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, Hessen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Saarland and Rheinland-Pfalz, the transfer occurs on Friday, October 31, with funds typically visible by the next banking day.
• Wohngeld‑Plus in 2025 includes a permanent heating allowance and a climate component of €0.40 per square meter and updates Miethöchstbeträge, which together raise the eligible housing costs used in the calculation.
• A yearly €1,800 income disregard applies per recognized severely disabled household member (subject to GdB and care criteria), exclusions persist for households already receiving accommodation benefits, and the BMWSB calculator offers guidance while local offices make final decisions.
