Wessex student budgeting
Student Cost of Living Calculator
Plan your monthly budget across the Wessex region.
Housing
Choose your university and accommodation, then either use the estimate or enter your own rent if you already know it.
This overrides the area-based housing estimate.
Shared house options
Add sharers and optional shared bills to make the estimate more realistic.
Your spending
Food, travel, clothing and daily life stay manual so the student can make the calculator their own.
Subscriptions
Tick only the streaming or membership costs you actually pay each month.
Income
Add your maintenance loan and other monthly support to estimate your likely balance.
Compare places
Keep benchmark cities selected so students can compare the same housing setup across the region.
