Should students use net income?
Yes. Enter the money you actually receive from scholarships, part-time work or family support. If you have tax or deductions, subtract them first.
Should rent or dorm cost be included?
Yes. Rent or dorm fees are usually the biggest student expense and should always be included.
How much emergency money should a student keep?
A common guideline is 1–3 months of essential costs as an emergency fund. Even a small buffer helps when unexpected costs arise.
Can this help before studying abroad?
Yes. Enter the expected costs for your study destination to estimate whether your budget will cover living expenses.
Does this include tuition fees?
You can add tuition fees as a monthly equivalent in the Other costs field. This calculator does not know tuition rates; enter your own amount.
