Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Typical Budget?
It uses the midpoint of the selected destination’s tuition and monthly living planning ranges. It is a starting estimate, not an official university quote.
What is the difference between Simple and Detailed Budget?
Simple Budget uses four main inputs. Detailed Budget lets you split living, academic and one-time costs into individual categories for more control.
Does the calculator use live exchange rates?
No. Results stay in the selected destination’s local currency and no live currency conversion is performed.
Can I replace the suggested values with actual university costs?
Yes. Every suggested value is editable.
Is the emergency buffer included automatically?
No. It is optional. Choose None, 10% or 15% depending on how you want to plan.
