National Tutoring Programme Subsidy Calculator
Estimate the government subsidy and your school's contribution for NTP tutoring sessions in England. The government subsidises 60% of tuition costs for eligible schools, with schools contributing the remaining 40%.
Formula
Total Tuition Cost = Sessions × Session Length (hrs) × Hourly Rate (£)
Government Subsidy = Total Tuition Cost × Subsidy Rate
School Contribution = Total Tuition Cost × (1 − Subsidy Rate)
Cost per Pupil = School Contribution ÷ Number of Pupils
Cost per Session = School Contribution ÷ Number of Sessions
