Add an index on future year fees. An increment can be set at a custom amount – it could be based on current CPI, or a typical YoY increase in fees for your school. The increase can be applied to tuition fees only, or also to other groups of fees, and this will roll out across future years as a fixed percentage.

You can also add custom notes related to how this indexation applies.

The results screen shows different period/frequency options – Per Term and Per Year are the defaults. You can however add more frequency options such as Per Week or Per Month. In fact you can have any custom frequency you wish! We recommend the default two options and a maximum of three.

You can also customise the note to help families understand the periods with extra information, such as:

The contact form can be customised to suit the needs of your school with different setting such as:

• Set fields as required or not required.
• add or remove certain fields
• remove the contact form entirely (ideal use case for this is when the calculator is embedded in a secure parent portal – read below in the installation section)

You can customise the copy of the email sent to parents with the fee estimate – add important links, contact details or other key enrolment information to help the parent know what the next steps are.

On the results page there are several call to action (CTA) links to help parents find out more information or take the next step – you can change these links as needed, and also add or remove these CTA options. The default is 3 CTA’s, but you can have 1 or 5… it’s up to you.

The Breakdown is an important view for parents to understand the finer details of your fees.

There are number of ways to setup how your fees are displayed in the breakdown – this will depend on how your fees are structured, and also on your preferences. There are many different configurations such as:

• Line item grouping – you can choose to have fees grouped together or to show as separate items
• Add fees or levies Per Student, Per Family or Per Year
• Once off or recurring fees

Now, you can choose to apply a rule per student or per family – this opens up all sorts of flexibility to include any fees or discounts to make sure all options are included, and give families a crystal clear idea of the costs to attend your school.

You can add notes as separate line items or as tips related to fee line items. These notes can be very useful to help parents understand clearly where their money is going.

You can also use notes to include crucial information from your fee schedule.

You can set a default ‘reply-to’ email so all replies to the fee estimate email comes directly to the right person (such as [email protected])

You can setup the Fee Calculator to send fee estimates to the parent from a custom email address such as [email protected]. The default is set to send from [email protected].

This will deliver a consistent branding experience and reinforce trust. Plus it will allow parents to reply directly to the email to get in touch with the school.

If you have multiple schools or campuses, you can use a single calculator and place a campus selector option on the form – the fees will change based on the campus selected.

This can also be used for ELC or Prep if fees are significantly different.
