How much does your husband get from his kollel? And where do you live?
Do you get any other help from the community because your husband is in kollel? If so how much?
I will start, DH when he was in kollel got 900 NIS from the kollel and once a year they had hat sales, 50 NIS for a hat (the hats run at around 1000 NIS usually so this is a big savings).
I don't think we got any other benefits though.

My husband's kollel supposedly gives between 500 and 700 monthly, we just don't get it in a timely manner
Aside for some coupons before pesach we don't get other benefits.

A private chabura within the Mir. He gets datot from the Mir plus 3000 shekel per month privately for morning plus afternoon - to get the full amount he has to write chaburos twice a month, give chabura every week and be five minutes early to seder. Another 1000 shekel per month evening kollel, 400 for Friday and Shabbos. His schedule is grueling. He leaves the house at 8:30am and gets home at 10:45pm.
They provide a full 3 meals per day. There are yomtov bonuses and an arrangement with some stores for a discount on men's clothing. From time to time there is a chaluka eg. coats for kids, blankets but we never know if and when so often I've already bought.
Overall it's about 5000 shekel per month. It's also very difficult to get into and to keep the requirements 100%.

Almost 20 years ago, we got $600. They raised every couple years. After 18 yrs bh, he went to work. I think he would've gotten around $1000-1200. His first job pretty much paid that.... Nowadays the kollel wives at that yeshiva get gift certificates for shoes and clothes around holiday time.
I am so grateful my husband was able to learn as long as we were able to.
These are in NY,.for reference.

$1200 monthly
Then dh is in an early morning kollel at 6:15am which he gets $400
Then he tutors at night for additional income.
His schedule is grueling. He has longer hours than bmg for first and second Seder.
He’s home for less than an hr in the morn and just one hour in the afternoon. And half hour for supper.
It’s hard and I work lots of hours at a tough job too.
Bh it still working for us…
This is Lakewood.

In case anyone is considering leaving kollel to work, I advise to really look into how much he will make at work. Remember you have to consider the cost of health insurance (no more Medicaid) and food (no more food stamps). And you will no longer be getting those nice coupons that we used to get for yomtov for hosiery and clothing and shoes etc. I see a lot of people make the mistake (us included), thinking that finances are easier if husband is working. They are not, they are actually much harder.
