Frequently asked questions
Does this include public and private school fees?
Yes, enter your own school's actual fee amount as this calculator works for public, Catholic or independent schools alike.
What if I have multiple children at different schools?
Run the calculator once per child using each school's own costs, then add the totals together.
Should I include voluntary building fund contributions?
Include them in the 'other annual costs' field if you plan to pay them, as many schools request these as part of the yearly budget.
