Data on cost of living indices (purchasing power correction indices) and location rating data (for determining the degree of hardship). This data is used to ensure that the posted employee can maintain a standard of living similar to that at home. Additionally, the employee is compensated for expenses arising from living and working conditions at the duty station, as well as for general transferability.
Data regarding housing costs per city, particularly in expat neighbourhoods, are determined based on on-site research, potentially supported by desk research. This concerns the maximum rental amounts for housing units and the additional housing costs for posted employees, consisting of service charges and local environmental/waste disposal levies. The costs for utilities (gas, water, and electricity) must be determined separately.
The costs of housing per city, within the residential area (25 km distance from workplace to residence), are determined through on-site research, possibly supported by desk research. This involves maximum rental amounts for living units, and the Ministry of Defence uses a bare rent as a starting point for the rent ceiling and for the housing allowance. The costs of utilities (gas, water, electricity) must be determined separately.
