Calculate Tuition Fees

How to calculate?

The tuition fees charged depend on the parents’ tax residence rather than on student's nationality.

If the tax residence on which the student depends is in the European Economic Area (all EU countries + Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), the calculation of tuition fees will be established according to the total of income earned by the student’s tax household, regardless of the type or the origin of the income (in the home country or abroad) and in particular all allowances, benefits and income received during N-2 calendar year before any deduction or charge divided by the number of units of the student’s household.

The composition of the household is established under the conditions mentioned in the circular NOR: ESRS2315208C dated July 17, 2023 (FR) of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, except for recognition of financial independence.

The number of units is calculated as follows: one unit for each person of the household and half a unit for each person dependant on the household regardless of the age.

During online administrative registration, students shall provide one or more of the following documents (the list is not exhaustive) in order to be eligible for the sliding scale:

A full copy of 2022 tax assessment of both parents + the student’s own tax assessment when applicable*
Certificates from employers indicating gross annual income in 2022 and the last three pay slips when applicable*
Any other document indicating all family's earned income
A document indicating the composition of the household if the information is not available on the tax assessment (family book and school enrolment certificate(s) for siblings)*

Please note that no supporting document is required for students who choose to pay maximum fees.

As part of the administrative registration, additional documents may be requested depending on each personal situation*.

If all the documents needed for the calculation are not provided, the maximum amount will be applied.

Good to know:

In all situations where applicable other than financial independence, the student’s own tax assessment will be required and taken into account for the calculation of tuition fees along with the parents' tax assessment.
Random checks can be carried out to verify the authenticity of the uploaded documents. Any violation can be referred to the disciplinary department.
Tuition fees are voted every year by the Board of Directors, for the following academic year. Any change is based on both an estimated inflation rate in France for the following year, as well as the difference between the recorded inflation rate and the estimated inflation rate considered for the previous academic year.
