Why there's no single figure — and what actually determines the amount.
There isn't one Erasmus+ grant amount — each National Agency sets its own individual support rates for its country, and rates are also adjusted periodically by the European Commission. A student from Poland travelling to Portugal and a student from Italy travelling to the same host company won't necessarily receive identical daily allowances, because their National Agencies may apply different rates.

Because these figures are set nationally and revised over time, the accurate current amount for a specific student is published by that student's National Agency — not by a host organisation, a blog, or a search result. Erasmus+ coordinators typically have this figure on hand when planning a project, since it's essential for budgeting.
If your school hasn't yet confirmed current rates for this programme cycle, that's a question for your National Agency or your school's Erasmus+ coordinator before finalising a project budget.
Because rates can shift between application rounds, schools that plan mobility year after year tend to build in a margin rather than assuming last year's figures apply automatically. A host partner that has run multiple cycles with different sending countries can usually help a school sanity-check whether a planned budget is realistic for the destination, even without quoting exact grant figures themselves.
