Parents can often feel overwhelmed when they are considering saving for education. Planning can help parents feel more prepared when education costs do arise, which could mean being able to give their children access to more educational opportunities.

An important factor in planning for children’s education is having an indication of how much education can cost. The Australian Scholarships Group (ASG) provides its Education Costs Calculators as a tool for parents to estimate the future costs of their children's education in order to help them to establish an education scholarship program to reach their education goals.

ASG’s Education Costs Calculators allow parents to see the itemised and total estimated costs of their education choices for one or all of their children, along with a year-by-year listing of the amounts required annually, at a glance. A detailed breakdown of the costs is also available.

ASG’s Education Costs Calculators are free and no personal information is collected.
