Unless you live in the UK, the question of "extension of stay" is irrelevant.

Also, you haven't yet entered UK and asking about extension which probably is due in 2 or 3 years time. No one (not even UKBA) can guess the answers to your queries - waiting time, the rules, fees, qualifying criteria etc. etc. - 2-3 years in advance. Think, are your questions any relevant at this stage?

I am not a fan of PBS calculator as PBS calculator is riddled with design flaws (IMHO) and is not the law! Suggest you refer to the policy guidance before trying your luck with PBS calculator.
