💜 Free JEM School Finance Tools

​​

Practical tools to help schools understand the numbers behind the decisions.

​

We have created a growing collection of free Excel calculators to help School Business Managers and school leaders explore financial questions that can easily get lost within the wider school budget.

.

​

JEM NOTIONAL SEND Financial Health Calculator – 2026/27


Explore your school's notional SEN allocation alongside actual additional SEN expenditure, high-needs funding and the contribution being made from the wider school budget.

 

JEM School Group / School Leadership Pay Calculator – 2026


Explore leadership pay costs and their impact on the wider staffing budget.

​

​

JEM calculators are provided as practical management tools to support school financial planning and discussion. They are not official DfE or local authority calculators. Figures, assumptions and outputs should be checked against your school's own circumstances, funding documentation and the most current guidance before being relied upon for financial, funding or staffing decisions.
