School Cost Comparison Calculator

FREE TOOL

Enter costs for your shortlisted schools to compare the yearly and total cost through graduation. Your inputs are calculated in this browser only. Nothing is stored or sent.

How to use it

Use the fee schedule or official notice from each school and enter amounts for your child’s entry grade. Use one currency throughout. Empty schools are left out of the results. The values for School 1 are an example.

Formulas

  • First-year cost = tuition + bus + uniform and books
  • Total through graduation = registration fee + the yearly cost, raised by the annual increase each year, added up for the years remaining

Example

Tuition of 50,000, a registration fee of 5,000, bus of 8,000, books of 2,000, 3 years remaining and a 5% increase give a first-year cost of 60,000 and a total of 194,150.

Limits

  • Many schools charge different tuition by grade. If the gaps are large, enter an average or calculate each stage separately.
  • Fee increases depend on the school and regulator. The rate here is an assumption.
  • Exchange rate changes, exam fees and after-school activities are not included.

Results are for reference only. Confirm fees with the school before enrolling.
