Estimate the reserve needed for one school, then compare published African fee records and their trust signals. Community records are planning inputs, not current school quotes.
Enter annual tuition, annual extras and the monthly support available. The result shows the reserve share using disclosed planning bands; it is not an affordability or lending decision.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the fee data come from?
The public feed contains published contributor records. Each row shows whether it is a community record, includes a proof link, or reports verified and approved states.
Is a published fee a current school quote?
No. Confirm the latest fee schedule, included costs, deadlines and refund rules directly with the school.
How does the quick school-fee check work?
It adds annual tuition and annual extras, divides the total by 12, and compares that reserve with the monthly support entered using disclosed planning bands.
Does the quick check upload or save my numbers?
No. The quick check runs in the browser and saves only when you explicitly choose Save on this device.
What costs should be included?
Include tuition plus known registration, books, uniforms, transport, meals, levies and other recurring extras.
Can parents, students or schools contribute?
Signed-in contributors can submit a fee record. Public proof should be a safe, public or redacted HTTPS link and must not expose private student information.
Open the school-fees workflow
Compare annual fees in the app, continue into Student Budget for monthly survival planning, or jump into Education Hub when the fee decision needs the wider shortlist and route context.
School fees are route intelligence, not just a fee list
Education costs move quickly, especially when inflation, FX pressure, transport changes, or school operating expenses shift. A useful school-fees product cannot rely on a tiny hardcoded sample. It needs a live submission system, a verification layer, and a public feed that is clear about what has been checked.
Why trust-labelled fee reporting matters
Parents and students need a clearer picture of the real annual cost of a school, not just the headline tuition line. Operators, lenders, and media teams need to see where pricing is moving by city, school type, and level. That makes contributor-backed fee records valuable far beyond a comparison widget.
What changed in the workflow
School Fees now sits inside a connected education lane. When the cockpit already knows the shortlist or affordability posture, the app can frame safer versus stretch options more intelligently before the student moves into monthly planning.
