Free planning tool

Estimate your first-year school and family costs in China.

Combine school tuition planning ranges with your own housing, household, setup, and contingency assumptions. Everything stays in Chinese yuan and in this browser.

A planning range, not a quote

School fees vary by grade, campus, transport, meals, capital levies, and the year of entry. Confirm every amount directly with admissions.

Step 1

Add schools for each child

Child 1

Step 2

Add your family assumptions

Leave any item blank if you only want to compare tuition.

Verify tuition with each school

The directory stores broad annual planning ranges, not grade-specific fee schedules. Open the official admissions site before budgeting deposits or accepting an offer.

What this estimate includes

Selected tuition ranges, 12 months of your housing and household inputs, your one-time setup amount, and the chosen contingency.

What to verify separately

Grade-specific tuition, application and capital fees, meals, buses, uniforms, insurance coverage, housing deposits, tax treatment, and employer reimbursements.

This tool provides general planning information, not financial advice or a school fee quote. Amounts are not converted to another currency because exchange rates change.
