Seasonal Work/Travel Program - H2B
Budget Sheet
It is important to understand that the Seasonal Work/Travel Program was not designed to be a money making program.  Many students are surprised to find how expensive their stay in the US can be.  It is important that you are fully prepared for these expenses.  Below you will find an Income Calculator and an Expense Calculator to help you analyze your finances.  Complete this sheet with the help of SIS FOSTER once you get your job offer. PLEASE type in a pesimistic version of your income and expenses. Remember that you are NOT allowed to find a second job under the H2B visa.
Income Calculator
Your income should be base ONLY on what is stated in your job offer and the total length of your program (not including the grace period).

Expense Calculator
You may not receive your first paycheck for several weeks after your arrival, so be sure to bring enough money with you to pay for your expenses until you start receiving paychecks.  You will need to budget carefully during your stay in the U.S.  Use the calculator below to deduct expenses from your Net Income above.  Remember to figure for cigarettes, drinks, movies, etc. if applicable.  (Some entries may be "0".)

I understand that I am responsible for my expenses during my stay in the United States.  I do waive and release all claims against SIS FOSTER and the employers for any changes in the above calculations.
