Where do I find my funding amounts and release dates?

Your NDIS plan lists them, and so do the my NDIS portal and app. A plan manager or support coordinator can usually see them too.

What if the money runs out before the next release?

Supports can't be claimed against funding that hasn't been released yet. If your needs have changed, you or your support coordinator can contact the NDIA about your options, including a plan reassessment.

Does the calculator know my plan's exact amounts?

No. It only works with what you type in, and splits each budget equally across its periods unless you enter the exact per-period amounts under Match my plan.

Does it account for public holidays?

Yes, for support worker budgets once you choose your state. It shows the statewide public holidays before the next release and how much to set aside for the higher rates on those days.

Are my figures saved or sent anywhere?

No. Everything is worked out in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to RosterRoo. If you copy a share link, the figures travel inside the link itself.

Can support coordinators and plan managers use it?

Yes, for any plan. Nothing identifies the participant unless you type a name in, so you can leave names out.

NDIS budget calculator for funding periods

NDIS plans now release funding in instalments rather than all at once. Add your plan dates and the funding for each budget, and this funding period calculator shows how much has been released, what you can use today, and a weekly amount that lasts until the next release and to the end of the plan. Free, no sign-up, and your figures stay in your browser.

Funding

Add each part of the plan you want to track — a whole budget like Core, or a single line like therapy. The plan or the my NDIS app shows each amount and how often it's released.

What is this funding for?

Total for the whole planAmount each release

Total for Core — daily activities only

This line's amount for the whole plan — not the plan's overall total.

How funding periods work

From 19 May 2025, new and reassessed NDIS plans stopped handing over each budget in one lump sum. The money is released in instalments, one at the start of each funding period.

The schedule starts on your plan start date. If your plan began on the 19th, each release lands on the 19th — not on the 1st of the month.
Most budgets are released every three months. Home and Living is usually released monthly, and some capital items such as assistive technology can be released in full at the start. Your plan states the rhythm for each budget.
You can only use what has been released. Funding from a later period can't be drawn early.
Unused money carries forward within the plan. It stays available in later periods, but it doesn't move into your next plan.
Each budget runs on its own schedule. Budget them one at a time — money can't be shifted from one to cover an overspend in another.

How the weekly amount is worked out

We count the days from the date you're calculating from to the last day of the current funding period, counting both ends, then divide what's available by that number and multiply by seven. $12,000 available with 30 days to go works out to $2,800 a week.

Alongside it you'll see the even pace for everything left in the plan, spread to the plan end date. Both are budgeting guides to keep spending steady, not limits set by the NDIA.

Unless you enter the exact amount for each period under Match my plan, the calculator assumes each budget is split equally across its periods. Your plan document is the final word on the real amounts.

Public holidays

Support worker hours cost more on a public holiday, but releases don't change to match. Pick your state and, for support worker budgets (Core daily activities, Core social and community participation, Home and Living, or a whole-plan figure), the calculator lists the statewide public holidays before your next release and suggests an amount to set aside.

The set-aside assumes the funding is spent evenly across the week on standard support worker hours at the national price limits in the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27. It isn't shown for therapy, coordination or capital budgets. Part-day, regional and local holidays aren't counted, and where a state hasn't published its dates yet the calculator says so rather than guessing.
