ISEE parificato 2026/27: formula, documents and calculator
The ISEE parificato adds your family's income to 20% of its assets, counting buildings abroad at €500 per square metre, and divides by the equivalence scale, according to the 2026/27 scholarship calls (University of Milan, ER.GO, DSU Toscana, DiSCo) and DPCM 159/2013 read on 31 October 2026. It must stay under each agency's limit, from €23,000 to €28,339.88.
ISEE = (income + 20% × (savings + m² × €500 − mortgage)) ÷ scale
ISPE = (savings + m² × €500 − mortgage) ÷ scale

The formula, step by step
- Income: the gross income of every family member in the year, converted into euros at the Bank of Italy average rate for that year.
- Assets: savings and investments at 31 December, plus the buildings the family owns (land is not counted) at €500 per square metre, minus any mortgage still owed.
- Economic situation: income plus 20% of the assets.
- Divide by the scale for the number of people in the family. The result is the ISEE; the assets divided by the scale are the ISPE.
The University of Milan's call describes it this way: “20% della somma dei patrimoni mobiliare ed immobiliare posseduti da ogni singolo componente il nucleo familiare alla data del 31/12/2025; per il calcolo del patrimonio immobiliare sono considerati esclusivamente i fabbricati, che saranno valutati a € 500,00 al mq”. The allowances of the Italian ISEE (on rent, on savings, on the family home) and the extra points of the scale for families with children are applied by the CAF or the agency case by case; our estimate leaves them out, so with the same documents and exchange rate the official figure can only be the same or lower.
The equivalence scale
| People in the family | Scale |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.00 |
| 2 | 1.57 |
| 3 | 2.04 |
| 4 | 2.46 |
| 5 | 2.85 |
| each extra person | +0.35 |

An example
A family of four in Pakistan with a 2025 income of PKR 1,500,000, savings of PKR 600,000 and a 120 m² house: at 318.2737 rupees per euro (Bank of Italy 2025 average) the income is €4,712.92 and the assets €61,885.17 (€1,885.17 + 120 × €500). ISEE = (€4,712.92 + 20% × €61,885.17) ÷ 2.46 = €6,947.13; ISPE = €61,885.17 ÷ 2.46 = €25,156.57.

The documents
- Family composition, from the registry office or another public authority (with divorce or death certificates if a parent is missing).
- Each member's gross income in the year, from the tax authority (or the employer's certificate, or the payslips), and a statement for members with no income.
- Buildings each member owns, with the area in square metres; or a statement that nobody owns any.
- Savings and investments of each member at 31 December, and any mortgage still owed.
- All legalised by the Italian embassy (or apostilled where allowed) and translated into Italian; ER.GO and DiSCo say that no self-declaration or affidavit is accepted.

Students from countries on the particularly poor list bring a certificate from the Italian embassy instead of the income documents. ER.GO and DSU Toscana warn that they have authorised no paid agents or intermediaries; at DiSCo the CAFs with an agreement assist students for free.
Questions people ask
What is the ISEE parificato?
The indicator Italian scholarship agencies use when a student's family income and assets are abroad. It replaces the ISEE that Italian residents get from INPS.
How is the ISEE parificato calculated?
Total income of the family in the year, plus 20% of its assets (savings and investments, and buildings at €500 per square metre), divided by the equivalence scale: 1 for one person, 1.57 for two, 2.04 for three, 2.46 for four, 2.85 for five, plus 0.35 for each extra person. The ISPE is the assets alone divided by the same scale.
Which documents do I need for the ISEE parificato?
Official documents from your country, legalised (or apostilled) and translated into Italian, showing: who is in the family, each member's income for the year, the buildings each member owns with their area in square metres, and savings and investments at 31 December. Self-declarations are not accepted.
Where do I get the ISEE parificato?
From a CAF (tax assistance centre) that has an agreement with your agency or university, where the call asks for it (DiSCo Lazio, Politecnico di Milano, Padua, ERSU Palermo and Catania, ADISU Campania). ER.GO, DSU Toscana and the University of Milan calculate it themselves from the documents you upload.
Which exchange rate is used?
The Bank of Italy average for the income year, as the calls of ER.GO and DiSCo say; DSU Toscana writes the 2025 average euro exchange rate.
