When it comes to saving for college, it pays to plan ahead. Your College Financial Planning Calculator helps you estimate the amount you must save for college.

Instructions
Enter your current savings, your expected rate of return, and additional information into the table below and we'll calculate how much you should be saving each year to meet your child's college expenses. If the amount of your total savings appears in red, you may fall short of your expenses, so you'll have to rethink your current plan. If the amount of your total savings appears in black, you may not need to set aside as much as you currently are.
