What is the estimated budget for a Master's in the UK and USA including tuition and living?

You should plan for several key expenses when budgeting for your study abroad journey:

- Tuition fees: Vary widely by country, university, and program. For master's programs in the USA and UK, expect a range of ₹15 lakh - ₹50 lakh/year (subject to change).
- Living expenses: Include accommodation, food, transport, and personal costs. In the UK, typical monthly costs are ₹70,000 - ₹1,50,000; in the USA, ₹90,000 - ₹2,20,000 (subject to change; higher in major cities).
- Visa and health insurance: Visa fees and required health insurance or surcharges can add several thousand rupees per year.
- Other costs: Application fees, test fees (like IELTS), travel, books, and initial setup expenses.
- Emergency fund: Set aside 5 - 10% extra for unexpected expenses.

Start planning your finances 12 - 18 months in advance. Review your savings, family support, scholarships, and loan options to cover costs. For a personalized budget plan, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
