Planning result
Budget arithmetic—not a visa or admission decision
Do not confuse spending with proof of funds. An immigration authority may define separate eligible funds, holding periods, account ownership and document rules. Check the official route.
Serious budget checks
Verify the period, payer and official route
Costs can change. Use AfroTools as a planning estimate and confirm final tuition, immigration, insurance and scholarship details with the responsible provider or authority.
Housing and living
Use a city and accommodation type. Confirm deposits, guarantor rules, utilities, transport and whether quoted rent covers 12 months.
Immigration costs
Use the official immigration authority for application fees, healthcare charges and financial-evidence rules. Never infer eligibility from this total.
Currency conversion
Convert everything to the selected currency using the same dated rate. Add a separate contingency for exchange-rate movement if appropriate.
FAQ
Study abroad cost questions
Why are there no country defaults?
Tuition, rent, visa fees and exchange rates vary too much by programme, city, applicant and date to be safely represented by a generic country number.
Does the funding gap mean I fail proof of funds?
No. It is only full-route estimated cost minus funds entered. Immigration-authority evidence rules can count different funds and periods.
Should expected scholarships be deducted?
Only enter funding already confirmed for the relevant amount and period. An application or possibility is not confirmed aid.
Does this predict visa or admission approval?
No. It provides arithmetic only.
