Build a monthly international-student budget from rent, food, transport, insurance, utilities/phone and personal/study spending. The useful output is not just the number: it is the number together with the assumptions and eligibility checks that can change what you should do next.
What this calculator uses
The inputs on this page are Rent / housing, Food / groceries, Transport, Insurance / health, Utilities / phone, Study / personal / contingency. The calculation uses the values you enter for Rent / housing, Food / groceries, Transport, Insurance / health, Utilities / phone, Study / personal / contingency and returns the planning output described by the tool.
How to read the result
Use city-level numbers and include irregular costs elsewhere in your first-year plan.
What the number does not prove
Cost results are scenarios based on the values you enter. Keep official visa financial minimums separate from realistic tuition and living costs, and recheck current fees before committing funds.
Best next step
Replace planning defaults with your real tuition, city, funding and one-off expenses; then verify any legal financial threshold against the current immigration authority.
