The basic deductible is calculated using a mathematical formula in which the amount of the deductible is affected by the total amount of the household’s income as well as the number of adults and children in the household. The formula used in 2017: 0.42 x [T - (597 + 99 x A + 221 x L)], where • T = the combined income of the household • A = the number of adults • L = the number of children • 597 is the standard EUR amount and this income limit entitles to a full benefi t If the basic deductible is under EUR 10, it will not have affect on the allowance. The allowance must come to at least EUR 15 per month in order to be payable. More information on the general housing allowance see www.kela.fi /web/en/housing Housing costs: Kela pays housing allowance for acceptable housing costs such as the rent. There is a statutory maximum limit on ac- ceptable housing costs. If the amount of acceptable housing costs exceeds the maximum, the amount of the housing allowance will be calculated based on the maximum allowable housing costs (see below). Acceptable housing costs are • rental homes: the rent, and separately paid heating and water charges • right-of-occupancy homes: maintenance charge, separate heating and water charges as in rental homes, and 73% of the interest due on individual housing loans • unit in a housing cooperative: fi nancial and maintenance charge, separate heating and water charges, and 73% of the interest due on individual housing loans • owner-occupied single-family houses: maintenance costs, and 73% of the interest due on individual housing loans • partial-ownership home: the rent, and separately paid heating and water charges. Water charges: For separately paid water charges, the maximum amount recognised is EUR 18 / month per person. Heating costs: For separately paid heating charges is recognised EUR 41, when the household size is one person. If the household con- sists of more than one person, EUR 14 is added for each additional person. • An increase of 4% is applied to heating charges in the regions of Southern Savonia, Northern Savonia and North Karelia. In these re- gions total EUR 43 is recognised for heating charges when the household size is one person. EUR 15 is added for each additional person. • An increase of 8% in the regions of Northern Ostrobothnia, Kainuu and Lapland. In these regions total EUR 44 is recognised for heating charges when the household size is one person. EUR 15 is added for each additional person. Maintenance costs of single-family houses: The maintenance costs of single-family houses are accepeted according the maintenance norms. An increase of 4% is applied to the maintenance costs in the regions of Southern Savonia, Northern Savonia and North Karelia, and an increase of 8% in the regions of Northern Ostrobothnia, Kainuu and Lapland.
