What information do I need to enter into a college planning calculator to get an accurate estimate?

To get an accurate estimate from a college planning calculator, you will need to enter some key information about your family's finances and the college you are considering. Some of the information you may need to enter includes:

1. Your current savings for college
2. Your expected family contribution (EFC)
3. The cost of attendance for the college you are considering
4. The length of the program or degree you are pursuing
5. Any scholarships or grants you may be receiving

You may also be asked to provide information about your income, assets, and expenses, as well as any loans or other debt you may have. It is important to provide as accurate information as possible to get the most accurate estimate of the cost of college.
