Choose two source-backed student financial-maintenance rules and see their current local-currency baselines side by side with official links. 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 Rule A, Rule B. The calculation uses the values you enter for Rule A, Rule B and returns the planning output described by the tool.
How to read the result
Different currencies and definitions mean the raw numbers are not a cost-of-living ranking. Use each rule for its own visa evidence purpose.
What the number does not prove
A comparison is only as good as the criteria and source dates behind it. Use the same definitions on both sides and verify high-impact visa, cost, recognition and admission facts before choosing.
Best next step
Use the result to make trade-offs explicit, then compare the same source-backed criteria across both options instead of relying on a single overall score.
