How this College Savings Calculator works

This tool projects the future cost of university based on current tuition rates and education inflation. It then calculates the required monthly contribution to a 529 plan or savings account to meet that goal by the time your child turns 18.

Why this matters for your wealth

College tuition inflation historically outpaces general inflation. Starting to save when your child is born allows you to leverage 18 years of compound interest, significantly reducing the out-of-pocket burden when they start school.
