Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How does the calculator decide if I get a full refund?
If the number of days since your enrollment is less than or equal to your institute’s refund policy limit (“Standard Refund Eligibility = Yes”), you are entitled to a full refund minus any processing fee.
2. What if I am not eligible for a full refund?
The refund is calculated based on the percentage of the course you haven’t consumed. For example, if you have consumed 20% of the course, 80% of the fee could be refundable (excluding processing fees).
3. What is the ‘Processing Fee’?
Some institutes may deduct a processing charge when issuing refunds. Enter this amount so it is subtracted from your refund estimate.
4. Can I use this calculator for any course?
Yes! Just enter the relevant fee, refund window, and other details according to your educational provider’s policy.
5. What if I enter unrealistic percentages or leave fields blank?
The calculator prevents negative results and blank vital fields—always double-check your entries for accuracy.
6. Does the calculator store or submit my personal data?
No, all calculations happen in your browser, and your data is never transmitted anywhere.
