FAQ's
How do I compare monthly cost across cities?
Use the calculator and compare pages to view monthly and yearly estimates with INR conversion.
Do these estimates include tuition fees?
No. This tool estimates living expenses only for food, accommodation, utilities, cinema, and local taxi usage.
Can I calculate without selecting a university?
Yes. University selection is optional and only helps you jump to a matching city where we have a reliable mapping.
How often are FX rates refreshed?
Rates are refreshed daily with fallback to the latest stored value when provider calls fail.
Why is transport sometimes shown as unavailable?
Some city datasets do not have taxi-per-km values. If taxi data is missing, transport remains unavailable unless you keep taxi usage at zero.
These figures are planning estimates and can vary by lifestyle, location within city, and market conditions.
