Student budget planner

Enter what comes in and what goes out each month. You'll see where your money goes and how much you can safely spend each day for the rest of the month.

A simple student budget rule

Pay fixed costs first (rent, phone, transport), set aside savings, and split what's left by the days until your next payment. That daily figure is your spending limit for food and social life. If rent is more than half your income, look for cheaper housing or extra income before cutting essentials.

Frequently asked questions

How much should a student spend on food per week?

It varies by city, but cooking most meals usually keeps groceries well below eating out. Track a month to find your real number.
