Method, policy basis, and limitations
How the estimate is built
The future education target grows today's cost by the entered inflation rate, while current savings and recurring contributions compound over the available funding period.
Important limitation
This is a savings projection, not a tuition quote or investment recommendation. Fees, exchange rates, scholarships, taxes, market returns, programme duration, and contribution timing can change the funding need.
