School Fee Structure Planner
Enter your fee heads, your student count and how many instalments you collect in. The planner totals the structure, splits it into instalments, and names the remainder that does not divide evenly: the figure that quietly breaks reconciliation when nobody decides where it goes.
Your fee heads
One line per head, per student, for the whole year. Keeping them separate is the point: a single lumped figure cannot answer a parent asking what one part of it was for.

Your own rule, if you grant one
The structure
| Head | ₹ / student / year |
|---|---|
| Tuition | ₹18,000 |
| Transport | ₹4,200 |
| Examination | ₹900 |
| Annual / development | ₹3,000 |
| Total per student | ₹26,100 |
Instalments
3 instalments of
₹8,700
Divides evenly, with nothing left over. That is worth aiming for when you set the heads.
At full collection
| Students | 420 |
|---|---|
| Gross, 420 students at ₹26,100 | ₹1,09,62,000 |
| Less concession, 0 at ₹0 | − ₹0 |
| Net fee income if everyone pays | ₹1,09,62,000 |
This is your arithmetic, not a forecast. Every figure above comes from the numbers you typed. We publish no collection rate, no typical fee and no benchmark head, because we have none we could source, and a made-up one would be the most quoted and least reliable thing on this page. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
!One thing this cannot model: a concession agreed verbally and never written down. Those do not show up here because they do not exist as a rule yet, and they are the single most common reason a year’s fee income comes in under the structure that was planned.
How this planner works
One line per head, on purpose
The planner will not let you plan a single lumped annual fee, because a lumped figure cannot answer a parent asking what one part of their payment was for, and it cannot be audited later. Tuition, transport, examination and annual charges each earn their own line, and the total is derived rather than typed, so the structure you publish and the total you budget against cannot disagree.
The remainder is the output that matters
A total that does not divide evenly into your instalment count leaves a few rupees somewhere, and the planner computes it in paise so the figure is exact rather than a rounding artefact. That sounds trivial and is not: if nobody decides where the remainder goes, the front desk decides differently for each family, and a year later the ledger and the structure disagree by an amount nobody can trace.
Concessions as a rule, not a memory
The concession fields ask for a percentage and a number of students, which forces the concession to exist as a rule before it can be modelled. That is the useful part. What the planner cannot model is a concession agreed verbally and never written down, and those are the most common reason a year of fee income lands under the structure that was planned.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many instalments should a school collect fees in?
There is no number we can recommend honestly, because it is a cash-flow decision specific to your salaries, your term dates and what your families can manage. What the planner can tell you is the consequence of each choice: try three and then ten, and look at the per-instalment figure and the remainder each produces. Fewer instalments mean larger asks and simpler reconciliation; more instalments mean the opposite. Pick with both numbers in front of you.
Why does the planner make such a point of the leftover rupees?
Because it is the most common silent defect in a fee structure. A total of ₹26,100 over three instalments is clean; over four it is ₹6,525 and still clean; over seven it is not, and the difference has to land somewhere. Schools that never decide end up with the amount added by whoever is at the desk, differently each time, which is exactly the kind of discrepancy that takes an accountant a week to unpick at year end.
Does this tell me whether my fees are too high or too low?
No, and be wary of any tool that claims to. That judgement depends on your costs, your local market and what your families can pay, none of which we know. We also publish no average or typical fee anywhere on this site, because we have no sourced figure for one, and an invented range would be the most quoted and least reliable thing we could put in front of you.
Is anything I type here sent to Edutris?
No. Every figure stays in the page while it is open, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and there is no account, upload or log of what you entered. Close the tab and it is gone, which is why the planner does not offer to save a structure for you.
