Collect the real inputs
Use a current fee notice and ask about hostel, transport, exams, equipment, refund rules and mandatory extras.
FREE PLANNING CALCULATOR
Course Cost Planner
See the full cost before you enrol-not only the tuition number shown in a brochure.
Boundary: this uses only your assumptions. It is not a provider quote, loan calculator or promise about affordability.
ASSUMPTION-BASED CALCULATOR
Estimate the full course cost
Enter figures from the course notice or your own budget. The result separates fixed fees, recurring living costs and the amount still needing a funding plan.
Important: this is arithmetic, not a fee quote or financial advice. Verify every figure with the institution and keep a buffer for changes.
Use it before paying
Keep uncertain money separate
Do not count an unconfirmed scholarship, future salary or hoped-for part-time income as guaranteed funding.
Compare the route
Run the same assumptions for a lower-cost alternative and record what evidence justifies the difference.
