Fee planning

Separate the charge, discount, payment, and balance.

A useful fee calculation begins with the approved charge for the learner or fee category. Apply only an authorised discount, record the amount already paid, and calculate the remaining balance. Keep each figure visible so a parent or accounts officer can understand how the balance was reached.

Do not combine tuition, transport, meals, books, uniforms, examinations, and optional activities into one unexplained amount. Itemised records make corrections and receipts easier and reduce disagreement when a payment covers only part of the term.

This calculator is for quick checking. The school's approved ledger, receipt system, bank record, and fee policy remain the authoritative sources.

Worked exampleFor a fee of 120,000, a 10% authorised discount reduces the charge to 108,000. If 60,000 has been paid, the balance is 48,000.

Record separatelyFee category, session and term, discount approval, payment date, method, reference, receipt number, and outstanding balance.

Questions

School fee calculator FAQ

Should a discount reduce every fee item?

Only if the school's policy says so. Some discounts apply to tuition but not transport, meals, books, or external examination charges.

Is the result a receipt?

No. A valid receipt should come from the school's authorised payment and accounting process.

What if a parent pays more than the balance?

Do not silently change the fee. Record the overpayment according to school policy as a credit, refund, or allocation to another approved charge.
