Your result

Estimated total cost when it starts: R 1 298 983

What this assumes

Each year of study is inflated to the year it is actually paid, not all to the start date.
Assumes fees only. Accommodation, books and transport are frequently a third again on top.
Education inflation running ahead of general inflation is the single biggest driver here.

This tool gives an indicative estimate based only on the figures and assumptions you entered. It is general information for educational purposes, not financial advice and not a recommendation to buy any financial product.

No product is recommended or implied here. Whether anything is suitable for you depends on your circumstances and needs a full advice process.

What this number does not know

It has not seen your tax position, your existing policies, your employer benefits or anything about your health. Those change the answer materially. If the figure surprised you, that is worth a conversation.
