The exchange rate is missing. The cost is shown in local currency, without a GDP share.

Adults: 23,535,442 × AFN 800 × 12 = AFN 225,940,243,200

Children: 17,919,319 × AFN 400 × 12 = AFN 86,012,731,200

AFN 225,940,243,200 + AFN 86,012,731,200 = AFN 311,952,974,400

Offset benefits, recovered tax, administrative savings and later economic effects are not deducted. This is a gross cost, not a net cost.
