Look at your recent bank statements to make sure you don’t forget any regular spending

  • For example, to calculate your expenditure over the academic year, ignoring the summer vacation:
    • multiply weekly expenditure by 39
    • multiply monthly expenditure by 9
    • multiply termly expenditure by 3
  • Add together all expenditure to arrive at your annual total.
