Planning to study - do the numbers

The cost of living calculator will help you understand what it will cost to live as a student. It's intended as a guide to help first-time students who are new to living away from home.

You can "Reality check my budget" to see what typical real world average costs are - how much you may need each week, and for a study year (40 weeks). The figures are estimates, and you will need more:

  • setting up your flat - bond, freight if you're moving to a new town, insurance, connecting the phone and power
  • insurance for your stuff and your car if you have one
  • trips home
  • car servicing and repairs, WOF and registration
  • dentist and doctor appointments
  • gifts
  • pets
