The current annual cost of studies you estimate including tuition, rent and general cost of living. The application takes into account the rate of inflation you set, to show you the change in the actual annual cost at the start of studies and during the course of studies.

If you want, you can choose one of the countries shown in the list to retain the indicative cost shown.

 
Inflation

The rate of inflation you expect.

 

The amount you have already set aside for your child's studies.

 
Planned monthly savings

The amount you are able to set aside for monthly savings. The application takes into account this amount and any current savings, investing them with the average annual rate of return you specify. The calculation is made on the assumption that the monthly savings will continue until the end of your child's studies.

 

The percentage of the annual cost of studies you want to finance. This percentage can be adjusted to suit your needs. For example, if your child works while studying, his/her income may cover part of the overall cost. You can cover the remainder (e.g. 70%). You can do the same if you know that there will be financial support from a relative who will cover part of the expenses.

 

The estimated average annual return on savings.
