<p>You can get ballpark results by running the calculators at [FinAid</a>! Financial Aid, College Scholarships and Student Loans](<a href=“http://www.finaid.org%5DFinAid”>http://www.finaid.org) and at [College</a> Calculators - savings calculators - college costs, loans](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>Calculate Your Cost – BigFuture | College Board) Last spring after filing the FAFSA, I ran our financials through both of them. finaid.org was about 5% higher than our FAFSA results, and the collegeboard calculator was to-the-dollar exact. Next year’s FAFSA formula is now available at <a href=“http://www.ifap.ed.gov/efcformulaguide/attachments/101310EFCFormulaGuide1112.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ifap.ed.gov/efcformulaguide/attachments/101310EFCFormulaGuide1112.pdf</a> If you don’t mind crunching the numbers yourself with a calculator, you could print that out and work your way through it.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
