Juken Hiyou: The Middle-School Exam Cost Simulator
A free Japanese calculator estimates the total cost of private or public middle-school entrance exams from schooling choices, timing, sibling status, and the number of schools applied to.
Field notes
The tool converts a family’s choices—target-school category, starting grade, simultaneous sibling exams, and application count—into a cost range and payment timeline. Its example assigns ¥2.0–2.5 million to cram-school costs, ¥108,000 to four examination applications, and ¥450,000–¥710,000 to enrollment-related expenses. Supporting material compares monthly fees from three cram schools and published admission figures from eight schools across four prefectures.
