What is the NDIS Budget Calculator?
The NDIS Budget Calculator helps you plan your supports by turning official NDIS prices into a clear annual cost estimate. Choose your state, pick a support category, add items from the NDIS Price Guide, set quantity and frequency, and see how much funding those supports may use over a year.
Participants, families, support coordinators, and providers use this free tool during NDIS plan reviews, quoting, and onboarding — without building spreadsheets by hand. You can download or print a branded PDF summary to share in planning meetings.
How to calculate NDIS support costs
Step 1: Select your state or region — NDIS price limits differ between metro, remote, and very remote areas. Step 2: Choose a support category (daily living, transport, therapy, and more). Step 3: Search by support name, keyword, or line number and add items to your list.
For each line item you can adjust the hourly or unit price, quantity, and frequency (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, yearly, or one-off). The calculator multiplies price × quantity × frequency to show an annual cost per item and a running total across your plan.
Plan your supports with current NDIS pricing
All rates come from the NDIS Support Catalogue and NDIS Pricing Arrangements. When the NDIA updates price limits, our database is refreshed so your estimates reflect current caps — not outdated PDFs from last year.
The calculator is an estimate only; your actual plan budgets and provider agreements may differ. Use the summary as a planning aid, then confirm figures with your support coordinator or the official NDIS resources before making commitments.
