How to use the College Cost Funding Scenario Calculator
Costs are paid at the beginning of each academic year. Discount each projected year separately back to today to estimate a current lump-sum funding requirement.
The calculation
Worked example
Four years at $20,000 with no cost growth or savings return require $80,000 today, leaving a $70,000 gap against $10,000 saved.
Assumptions and limits
No real school fees, grants, loans, tax benefits or admissions information are fetched. Constant growth rates are scenario assumptions.
