3. Calculation of all-inclusive contribution amount (100%) for study plans from 46 to 74 ECTS

The total of the all-inclusive contribution, 100% of which is due, for Study Plans from 46 to 74 ECTS, is determined in accordance with the 2017 Budget Law (Law No. 232/2016), – as subsequently amended and supplemented – and by the resolution of the Board of Governors of 28.09.2021, which introduced a further increase in the reductions.

The annual all-inclusive contribution due will be calculated as follows:

Partial exemption

Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE) value All-inclusive contribution amount
From €22,001 to €24,000(ISEE - €22,000) / 12.9870
From €24,001 to €26,000(ISEE - €24,000) / 6.6445 + €154
From €26,001 to €30,000(ISEE - €26,000) / 6.4935 + €455

Examples:

  • ISEE of €23,000: (€23,000 - €22,000) / 12.9870 = €77
  • ISEE of €25,700: (€25,700 - €24,000) / 6.6445 + €154 = €409
  • ISEE of €28,900: (€28,900 - €26,000) / 6,4935 + €455 = €901

Reduced partial exemption

Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE) value All-inclusive contribution amount
From €0 to €23,731

€200

(minimum amount envisaged by Law 232/2016 and M.D. 234/2020)

From €23,732 to €24,000[(ISEE - €22,000) / 12.9870)]*1.5
From €24,001 to €26,000[(ISEE - €24.000) / 6,6445 + €154)]*1,5
From €26,001 to €30,000

[(ISEE - €26.000) / 6,4935 + €455)]*1,5

(maximum amount envisaged: €1.474)

If the total amount is less than or equal to €723, only the advance payment of the first-instalment contribution and any regional tax adjustment due are required.

If the total amount exceeds €723, an advance payment of €723 towards the first-instalment contribution is required. The remaining amount will be charged as the balance of the second-instalment contribution, together with any regional tax adjustment due.

4. ISEE issued in 2026 and ISEE issued in 2027

If you meet the requirements described above, you may receive a reduction starting from the first instalment if your ISEE 2026 is below €27,740; otherwise, the reduction will be applied to the second instalment.

If you are already enrolled at the Politecnico di Milano, the ISEE 2026 indicator already submitted for the 2025/2026 academic year will be taken into account.

By submitting your ISEE 2027, you may confirm or obtain:

  • a full exemption, with a possible refund of the all-inclusive contribution paid with the first instalment;
  • a partial exemption, with a possible refund and/or payment of the outstanding all-inclusive contribution.

If your ISEE 2027 exceeds the applicable threshold, you will be assigned to the relevant income bracket and requested to pay any outstanding balance due.

If you meet the applicable requirements but did not submit your ISEE 2026, you may obtain the exemption by submitting your ISEE 2027.
