What school costs should I plan beyond tuition?

Transport, uniforms, books, devices, activities, deposits and registration fees can all arrive outside the tuition headline. A planner helps turn those annual costs into a monthly number.

Should school fees be budgeted monthly?

If your school invoices by term, saving monthly can still reduce pressure. Divide the unfunded annual amount by the months left before the fee cycle resets.
