Do I pay my blocked-account money as an extra fee on top of the Germany job seeker visa fee?

No. The blocked-account funds are intended for your living expenses and are not an additional visa fee. The visa fee is separate, and so are translation, qualification recognition, insurance and travel costs. Check the official mission page for the latest fee.
No, the blocked-account money is not an extra visa fee. It is meant for your living expenses, while the visa fee and processing time are separate from your other costs.

What to Budget Separately
- Required financial proof, including the blocked-account funds.
- Health insurance, qualification assessment, document translation and travel.
- Processing time can depend on the mission's workload, your document completeness and certificate verification.
- The official page does not give a single guaranteed processing period, so avoid non-refundable travel bookings before your visa arrives.
My Advice
Keep the visa fee and your living funds in two separate budget lines. Confirm the latest instructions with the responsible mission before you book anything.
