Parental income calculator

Use this calculator to find out if you might be eligible for a Student Allowance base on your parents' income and how much you might get.

Please Note - this calculation is only a guide and is based on the parental income you use. To be eligible for a Student Allowance all other criteria must be met as well. We can't confirm if you qualify until you apply. Please also note that a Student Allowance cannot be paid if the net rate payable is less than $2.00 per week. Remember, some students may also be eligible for the Accommodation Benefit. For more details please contact us or apply online.
