Cost my supports
Add the supports you use each week to see the weekly and total cost at the NDIS price limits.
The price limit depends on where the support happens, not where you live. Most cities and regional towns are Standard. Remote and Very remote price limits apply in areas classed as MMM 6 and MMM 7 under the Modified Monash Model, and in a few towns the NDIS has reclassified. If you're not sure, ask your provider or plan manager.

Get MatchedThis calculator gives estimates and general information only. It isn't financial advice. Choosable is an independent directory and isn't part of the NDIA. Results use the official NDIS Support Catalogue shown above and depend on the details you enter. Check your plan and statements for your actual budgets and spending.
How to use the budget calculator
- Choose the tab that matches your question.
- Add your supports, budget or spending, and your plan dates.
- Read the estimate. It uses the NDIS price limits, so if your providers charge less, your budget will go further.
- Use the results to talk to your providers, plan manager or support coordinator about how to make your budget last.
Tips for making your budget last
- Check your rates. Evening, weekend and public holiday supports cost more. Moving a support to a weekday daytime can stretch your budget.
- Compare quotes. Providers can charge less than the price limit. Use the quote checker to compare.
- Check your spending regularly. Look at your statements every month, so there are no surprises near the end of your plan.
- Ask early. If your budget won't last, talk to your support coordinator, plan manager or the NDIA before it runs out.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the estimate?
It's a guide. It uses the NDIS price limits for the supports and times you choose. It doesn't include public holidays, travel, cancellations or price changes during your plan, and your providers may charge less than the limit.
Which budget does each support come from?
Your plan shows which budget each support is paid from. If you're not sure, ask your plan manager, support coordinator or the NDIA.
Where can I see how much I've spent?
Your plan manager's statements show what's been paid. You can also check your plan and payments in the my NDIS app or portal. Payments can take a few days to show.
What if I'm spending faster than planned?
Talk to your providers about your schedule and rates, and to your plan manager or support coordinator. If your needs have changed, you can contact the NDIA about your plan.
Is what I enter saved?
