College Savings Calculator Spreadsheet

You need to know how much money to save to afford college for your children. This calculator tells you how much to save, annually, to reach your goals depending on how much you saved so far (if anything), how much you expect college to cost, when you child graduates high school, the rate of inflation and interest, and other factors. It also provides a year by year breakdown of how the money saved will be spent and how much you’ll earn on the balance as your children complete college.

The college savings calculator let’s you work with two children at a time, which also give you an opportunity to two side-by-side scenarios and compare them for a single child.

This calculator should be used by every parent hoping to send their kids to college - or encouraging their kids to earn and save their own money to afford college! Start early using this spreadsheet - when your kids are young - and the picture will look more achievable :)
