WiseCalc

Student Budget Calculator

Compare entered monthly income and selected monthly expenses in USD, with a simple 12-month repeat scenario.

All amounts are in US dollars (USD) per month. Enter tuition and fees as a monthly allocation; do not enter a semester or yearly bill unchanged. Annual cards repeat this same month 12 times, not a school-term schedule or forecast. Only the five entered expense categories are included; aid, borrowing, taxes and unentered costs are not determined. Result amounts round to the nearest cent, with halfway values rounding away from zero; totals use unrounded inputs. Very small amounts use scientific notation.
