CC EFC calculator-is it accurate?

Paying for College
1

<p>tried the CC EFC calculator--it takes taxable income+untaxed, then investments and cash=EFC</p>

<p>my EFC was much lower using this than the collegeboard's or fafsa--others find this?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>This calculator was the most accurate for us:</p>

<p>[FinAid</a> | Calculators | Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Financial Aid](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator - Finaid)</p>

<p>Try [FAFSA4caster</a> - U.S. Department of Education](<a href=“http://www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov%5DFAFSA4caster”>http://www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov)</p>

<p>the calculator the foglikely posted a link to has been within $5 of our actual EFC for the past three years.</p>

<p>keep in mind – you have to input accurate numbers and not estimates to get an accurate estimate. even small changes can make a big difference.</p>
