How this estimate works
Recurring yearly costs include semester expenses, accommodation, living costs and annual charges. The annual cost increase applies to future years. One-time expenses are added once; contingency is added before scholarships. Scholarships are subtracted over the full study period, and existing savings reduce the amount still to fund.
Planning estimate: School charges, hostel prices and living costs may change. Confirm current fees with your institution. Scholarships and financial aid may have conditions, deadlines or limited duration; this tool assumes the entered annual support continues each year.

Frequently asked questions
What does the university cost calculator include?
Tuition, levies, materials, transport, accommodation, feeding, internet, annual charges, one-time expenses and a contingency allowance.
Can I use it for a public or private university?
Yes. Enter the actual fees for the chosen university. The example amounts are illustrative and not current university fee quotations.
How are multi-year increases calculated?
The selected annual increase is applied to recurring annual expenses in each later academic year. One-time admission and setup costs are not increased.
How are scholarships deducted?
The entered annual scholarship or support is multiplied by the number of academic years and deducted from the total estimated cost, without allowing the final budget to become negative.
What if I live at home?
Set accommodation to zero and adjust transport, feeding and other living expenses to your circumstances.
Does the calculator include student loans or interest?
No. Loans, interest, repayment schedules, inflation forecasts and exchange-rate changes are not modeled separately.
Can this be used for postgraduate programmes?
Yes. Adjust the number of years, semesters and expense categories to reflect the actual postgraduate programme.
