Hendrixson and Associates, Inc. - College Funding : Calculator: College Funding

Saving enough for their children’s education is a major financial concern for many parents. With the current cost of a four-year college education reaching six figures in some instances, your child’s college education may cost more than you expect. This calculator is designed to help you estimate the cost of your child’s education, based on the variables you input.

How many years until your child enters college?
For how many years will your child be attending college? (It may be more than four years in some cases.)
What is the annual cost of the college he/she will be attending? (Include tuition, fees, room and board, books, etc., using today’s prices.)	$
What rate of inflation do you expect for college costs? (College inflation has continued to outpace the general inflation rate. For the past 10 years, the average college inflation rate was 5 percent. Recent years have shown a decline in college inflation.)	%
How much money do you presently have saved for your child’s college expenses? (Include funds that are in your name and your child’s name that have been set aside for college.)	$
