Step 1 of 4

Start with Your Child

Add as many as you like. Start typing a college name, then tap it in the list.
On a 4.0 scale. Your best estimate is fine.
Enter an SAT total (400 to 1600) or an ACT composite (1 to 36).
Step 2 of 4

Now Your Household

This decides whether a public college charges you in-state or out-of-state.
From your most recent tax return. Your best estimate is fine.

Your figures are used only to build and send you your report.

The Part That Changes the Answer

You saved. You paid down the mortgage. You did everything right. Some colleges will punish you for it and some won’t. This is where you find out which.

Cash, brokerage, CDs and any college savings accounts. Leave out 401(k) and IRA.
Roughly what it is worth minus what you still owe. A guess is fine, and we will widen your range to reflect that.

Here’s What These Colleges Will Really Cost You

Estimates use College Scorecard net price by income band, IPEDS published cost of attendance, and each college's own Common Data Set. Figures run about two years behind. An estimate is not an offer of financial aid.
