<p>I cannot find a published formula for CAL Grant "Total Income" (dependent students) line calculation and my last</a> post did not receive an answer.</p>
<p>You can help! Please, if your dependent was awarded a CAL Grant help those (like me) who need to know and you needn't share any personal info in the process. </p>
<p>All I need is to compare the "Parent's Total Income" line displayed by the CSAC to some amounts you entered on FAFSA and answer 3 Yes/No questions regarding whether they match or not.</p>
<p>Take FAFSA Line#83 (your AGIs) + [Sum of 92a-i]. Compare it to the amount reported by the CSAC</a> Webgrants Award Detail page (click link, login, then click link again or goto CALGrant, View Award Detail, total is at the bottom). </p>
<p>Question #1: Do the two amounts match? (yes/no)
Question #2: If it does match, were all the values for FAFSA #91a-f zero? (yes/no)
Question #3: If it does NOT match, further Subtract the [Sum of 91a-f]. Now does the total match the CSAC amount? (it should)</p>
<p>That's all!</p>
<p>*For those FinAid officers and meticulous parents, the calculations above are the same as EFC formula worksheet lines #5,#7 "Total Income - Parents Section". *</p>
<p>I would be VERY grateful if you could help determine this formula with me. Thanks in Advance!</p>
