How this illustration is calculated

Contributions are made at month-end and remain level. Returns are constant illustrations, not forecasts. Tax, fees and market volatility are excluded; allow for costs in your assumptions.

Each year’s cost is inflated separately. The full nominal cost is targeted by the first year of education; no investment growth is assumed during the education years. This is a conservative upfront-funding model.

Illustrative only. Calculator results do not constitute financial advice and actual outcomes may differ.

Numbers need context

A calculator does not know your whole life.

It cannot assess your existing arrangements, personal risks, tax position or capacity for loss. Use the illustration to ask better questions, then build the plan with your adviser.
