What families say after working with Aris
C

"Like other married couple, we thought saving some money out of our monthly salary we'd be just fine. Little did we know we fell into a trap of "blind savings" which means blindly saving money without a plan or a goal… for our family our main and top priorities are education, retirement and owning a house & property."

Christine Jane C. Gabrinez★★★★★ · March 2022

"We thought that budgeting is enough but still we don't meet our financial goal every year. Through his systematic approach we understand the real essence of Financial Goals."

  • This calculator is for learning only. It is not financial advice and not an offer of any product.
  • Costs are averages from published or reported fees as of November 2026. Your child's actual school may charge more or less. Always check with the school directly.
  • Scholarships, entrance exams, books, uniforms and daily allowance are not included.
  • We assume school and living costs go up 5% a year. Savings growth depends on how many years are left: 3% a year if less than 5 years, 6% if 5 to 6 years, and 7% if 7 years or more. Less time means less risk, so we use a lower rate. Growth is not guaranteed and can be lower.
  • We use one average cost increase (5%) for every country. Actual increases differ by country and school.
  • Board exam review, internship year, bar review, airline type rating and extra flying hours for airline jobs are not included.
  • Some figures are our estimates and are marked as such. Europe shows an average of 5 countries; real fees vary a lot by country.
  • Exchange rates used: QR 1 = ₱16, US$1 = QR 3.64, €1 = QR 4.07. Exchange rates will change over the years.
  • Please don't make big money decisions from this page alone. Talk to a licensed financial professional first.
