QuickCalc - What will colleges expect you to pay?

Colleges use the FAFSA and PROFILE forms to determine your "Expected Family Contribution" (EFC), which is the total amount of money your family is likely to pay for each year of college, for any college.

Financial aid should cover any difference between your EFC and the actual cost of attendance for a particular college. By using this EFC calculator, you can estimate your out-of-pocket expenses for any college. This is the first step in planning how to fund the costs of college.
