School Expense Annualizer
Annualize school costs entered as one-off, three-term, or monthly charges so families can inspect the total cost of an academic year.
Tuition of 800.00 per term across three terms plus 100.00 once for supplies totals 2,500.00 for the modeled year.

How to use the School Expense Annualizer
Use this when school bills have different frequencies and you want a single planning view of the year ahead.
What to enter
Add a unique cost name, amount per occurrence, and code: once, term, or month. If your calendar has two or four terms, convert that cost to a once annual amount first.
Worked example
Tuition of 800.00 per term across three terms plus 100.00 once for supplies totals 2,500.00 for the modeled year.
How to read the result
Each row shows the amount attributed to the modeled year. The summary adds those amounts; it is not a monthly payment schedule.
Method
Multiply each entered cost by 1 for once, 3 for term, or 12 for month, then sum the annualized rows in cents.
What to check
The model assumes three terms and twelve monthly charges. School calendars differ; grants, tax relief, fee changes, and changing attendance are excluded.
Avoid this mistake
Entering a full-year tuition amount with the term code multiplies it three times. Enter the charge for one occurrence.

Questions to check
Why three terms?
It is the explicit default assumption; adapt other calendars by entering their full-year amount as once.
Can I include supplies?
Yes. Enter expected annual supplies as once.
Does this include scholarships?
Only if you have already reduced the entered amounts accordingly.
