How much will it cost to prepare a child for school in Tashkent in 2026?

August is always a busy and responsible time for families with school-age children. If there is only one student in the family, there is an opportunity to spread the costs out over time. But if several children go to school, then it is necessary to carefully plan the family budget for the coming months, rather than making a few purchases before September 1.

How much do school purchases actually cost?

When parents start shopping for school, the costs often exceed expectations by several million soums. The final amount can vary significantly depending on where the purchases are made.

Example of an average school set in Tashkent in 2026

In practice, parents are rarely limited to just one shirt and one pair of shoes. Usually they buy two or three shirts for weekly use, a change of shoes, an extra sports uniform, and a supply of notebooks for at least the first quarter.

Preparing first-graders for school requires special attention. In addition to uniforms and school supplies, parents also buy bows, white golf socks, festive accessories, folders for creative activities, and various sets for the ceremonial procession. Such "little things" can easily add another 150-300 thousand soums to the school budget.

What to do if there is not enough money?

As a result, even without taking into account expensive brands, preparing one child for school in Tashkent can cost about 3.5 million soums, and preparing two children can cost more than 7 million soums.

Among the costs of preparing for school, sometimes the family budget may not be able to cover all purchases at once. In such cases, the TBC BNPL installment payment service, available when paying for goods and services through partners in the Payme application, will help.

From August 3 to September 10, a special promotion is valid: purchases up to 5 million soums can be paid in installments at 0% and the amount can be returned in three equal installments over 3 months, without overpayments.

This means that purchases and equipment for the school:

For example, if the purchase amount is 3.6 million soums, the payment schedule will be as follows:

* First payment (at the time of purchase): 1.2 million soums

* Second payment (next month): 1.2 million soums

* Third payment (the month after that): 1.2 million soums

If all payments are made on time, the final amount of the installment payment will not change and no overpayment will occur.

Thus, you can prepare your child for September 1st without spending a lot at once: all the necessary things are purchased immediately, and the payments are conveniently distributed over several months.

The "Pay Later" service is provided by "TBC BNPL" LLC. 0% overpayment is valid only for the first installment payment made during the promotion period and subject to compliance with the payment schedule. The promotion is valid from August 3 to September 10, 2026. Some restrictions apply.
