ABOUT THE ESTIMATE

What this number includes.

A few quick answers on how the calculator works and how to read the result.

Still have questions? Talk to us →
What costs are included?

Tuition for the full course, living costs, health insurance or surcharge, and a one-time allowance for visa fees, flights and first-month setup. Books, local travel and personal spending are covered by the living figure.

How accurate is the estimate?

It uses indicative averages, so it is a planning figure and not a quote. Real fees depend on the university, the course and the city. We confirm exact numbers for your shortlist.

How is the rupee figure worked out?

The total is multiplied by the exchange rate shown in the form. Rates move daily, so enter the current rate for a closer figure.

What does the PDF report contain?

Your selections, the total in local currency and rupees, the cost breakdown, the year-by-year table, a country comparison and, if you choose a loan, the EMI plan. It is free once you unlock your estimate.

Does it include part-time work income?

The headline total does not, because earnings are not guaranteed. The part-time work panel in the detailed view shows the net cost if you count typical student earnings, and you can switch that off.

How does the proof-of-funds check work?

It compares your savings, family funds, grants and loan with a typical visa financial requirement for the country. Visa rules and amounts change, so always confirm them on the official visa website for your intake.

Why is Germany so much cheaper?

Many German public universities charge low or no tuition, so most of the cost is living expenses and the blocked-account requirement. Fees vary by state and programme, and some programmes do charge.
