Tools and data for students and job seekers
Calculators, explainers and official data you can use without an account.
Free tools and data for students and job seekers in Germany and Australia, all usable without an account. The cost-of-living calculators turn rent, transport, food and health-insurance figures into a monthly student budget for 38 university cities in Germany and 8 in Australia. The free ATS resume checker compares your resume with a job ad and flags missing keywords and parsing problems before you apply.
For Germany, the explainers and data pages go deeper. Investing in Germany covers stocks, starting a business and property, with the costs and legal steps, and the gas data page charts ten years of official figures on Germany’s gas imports, prices and inflation. Wherever you are, How AI works runs from the history of AI to reinforcement learning, fine-tuning and RAG, and summarises what research reports about AI and jobs.
Every page links to the sources behind its numbers. For step-by-step help with visas, registration, banking, insurance and jobs in Germany and Australia, see the guides.
