Student Budget Planner
Student life is usually light on cash, but heavy on expenses. Some expenses you just can't avoid, like tuition fees, books and rent. Some get a lower priority like entertainment, clothes and vacations. Students who think "budget control" seem to get more out of life. Then there's the problem of hanging on to money. Even when you've got a job, you've got to handle cash well to have money when you need it . . . like when the bills do turn up. There are ways to make every penny go further. Start with a budget, so you know where to find those pennies. You can then use the Student Budget Calculator below to work out how you might reach the savings target you set for yourself. You can juggle the figures as often as you need! It will help you get comfortable with managing your income and day-to-day expenses. It'll help you get through school, and it's also a skill you can use your whole life.
