School Fees Exemption Calculator

Exemptions are standard at all state or government schools. The tool below is a guide to what you can get as an exemption discount on school fees if you apply for exemption for your child or children. Bear in mind this does not apply to private schools.

You will need details of school fees for the year, or per month and number of months, and income of biological or adoptive parents only (not grandparents or other adults who might be living in the home).
