Summary
Family size changes donations, government fees, due diligence and legal fees. Some CBI donations already cover several people; others charge per person. What to include when comparing total cost.
Short answer: do not compare “single minimums” only. Family total cost = investment/donation (and whether family is included) + per-person government and due diligence fees + legal fees. A family of four can rank programmes differently from a single applicant.

FAQ
Why do some countries say “covers four”?
The donation package includes a set number of people; extras cost more.
Does European residence need extra investment for family?
Usually the main applicant’s investment covers dependants, with extra government fees.
How do I compare fairly?
Use the same family list for total cost, not single headline prices only.
