No financial information leaves your browser.
How the calculation works
Direct costs = tuition + fees + books/materials + travel + additional housing + other costs.
Remaining cash need = direct costs − confirmed support, with a minimum of zero. Support above known direct costs is shown separately.
Opportunity cost = work hours given up × assumed earnings per hour.
Estimated economic commitment = remaining cash need + opportunity cost.
Amounts are estimates based on your entries. Unknown costs may increase the total. Loan interest, taxes, inflation, and future earnings are not modeled. This is an arithmetic planning tool, not individualized financial advice.
