You can use the result as a first-pass reference, then compare it with official policies, institution rules, or professional guidance. For important decisions, always verify assumptions shown below the calculator.
If you need deeper analysis, run multiple scenarios by changing one variable at a time and comparing outputs.
How It Works

All math is executed in your browser for fast static-page performance and low-cost delivery on Cloudflare Pages. Required inputs are validated before calculation so users do not get blank, NaN, or misleading outputs.

Before calculation, the form validates required values and catches common data issues such as missing numbers and out-of-range entries.
The result card uses readable formatting and includes supporting details so you can understand not only the final value, but also how the estimate was formed.
