After Graduation Calculator

The After Graduation Budget Calculator will help you determine what your living expenses will be when you graduate or are out of school, and the income you'll need to cover them. (Check with friends and family members for a realistic estimate of expenses. You'll probably be surprised!)

Use our Loan Calculator to estimate what your monthly repayments will be for the loans you have or the loans you expect to take out to complete your education, then add them to your expenses. Once you've completed your budget, you'll understand why it's important to borrow only what you need, and think you can afford to pay back in the future.

You can also calculate the amount you may need to borrow with our In-School Budget Calculator.
