As per the official 2026/2027 data, total tuition is &euro;47,500 (including service and admin fees). Living expenses in Jouy-en-Josas are around &euro;1,000&ndash;&euro;1,200/month, which adds up to &euro;10,000&ndash;&euro;12,000 for a 10-month stay.

Staying on-campus helps save a bit, and the cost is still competitive compared to similar programs in London or New York.

The headline tuition fee may have dropped , but the total cost of attending HEC MFin still needs careful budgeting.

It surprises many people that living costs near HEC Paris can vary more than tuition itself.
&bull; Tuition for the MFin is around &euro;47,500. &bull; Expect &euro;1,000&ndash;&euro;1,200 monthly for rent, groceries, and transport. &bull; Visa and insurance paperwork cost roughly &euro;400 in total. &bull; Most students spend about &euro;62,000&ndash;&euro;65,000 overall.
A smart way to save is to live in Versailles or Massy instead of Jouy-en-Josas. Trains connect quickly to campus and rent can drop by 25%. Cooking at home and using the school cafeteria instead of eating out can easily save a few hundred euros every month. It&rsquo;s a small adjustment that really adds up over the year and keeps the total budget more manageable.
