You should plan for a maximum annual budget of €15,000 to €34,000 when studying at a private university in Germany.

- Tuition fees: Typically range from €5,000 to €20,000/year depending on the university and program.
- Living expenses: The German government requires proof of €11,904/year for living costs, but actual spending can be €10,200 to €14,400/year based on city and lifestyle.

These figures are subject to change and can vary by university and location.
