Student calculator

UNIAID, the student charity, and UKCISA  offer an online student lifestyle calculator, specifically for international students. This application is an addition to the existing UK-based student calculator and NUS is happy to support both apps as useful tools for students.

This tool helps international students plan and manage their money for studies in the UK. UKCISA’s research showed that almost a quarter (23 per cent) of international students said they didn’t have enough money to live on. Of those who had experienced hardship, 72 per cent said they underestimated the cost of living.

The International Student Calculator was developed with students from 13 different countries and enables students to:

  • Build a lifestyle budget and see how it balances by week, month or over a year
  • Understand how they will spend their time as well as their money in the UK
  • Learn from case studies and top tips from other students
  • Save their budget so they can use it before arriving or during their study.
