While one person receives 195 euros, their neighbour has to make do with 145 euros. The different levels of the climate bonus raise questions in Vienna.

In principle, you can always expect extra money in your account. This will happen in September, when the climate bonus is paid out again. Depending on where you live in Austria, you will receive either 145, 195, 245, or 290 euros.

How is the height decided? People who live in the city and enjoy a well-developed public transport network get less than people in the country who are dependent on their cars. However, this regulation does not make much sense everywhere, as the example of Vienna shows. Here, the amount of the climate bonus differs even in districts directly adjacent to each other.

Someone who lives in Gadnergasse in the 11th district receives 195 euros, while someone who lives just 250 meters away in Max-Mauermann-Gasse in the adjacent 10th district only receives 145 euros. This is even though both places of residence are the same height and distance from the city centre, and the connection to the public transport network is not particularly different.

Even in Liesing, where the U6 is still within walking distance in many places, one receives 50 euros more than in the neighbouring district of Meidling, where residents also mainly use the U6.

Overall, you get less in 16 districts than in the others. All inner-city districts fall into category one (145 euros). But Penzing, Favoriten, and Hernals are also included. This raises questions: Hernals has only two subway stops along the U6 line in the neighbouring districts of Alsergrund and Josefstadt. The infrastructure in Penzing can hardly be compared with that in the inner districts.
Incidentally, more money (195 euros) is available in Floridsdorf, Donaustadt, Simmering, Liesing, Hietzing, Währing, and Döbling districts. Moving house quickly before the bonus is paid out is no good, as you receive it for the main residence where you have lived the longest during the year of entitlement.
