🎓 How much can you save avoiding college debt with a funding plan?

Finn

This calculator helps families visualize how much they can save by piecing together a college funding plan instead of borrowing the entire shortfall. It adds meaningful formula logic beyond the original, completely replacing the prior fields to create a brand new tool. You can input your expected scholarships, work-study, and cash contributions to see the exact reduction in loan principal and estimated interest. Keep in mind that the interest savings use a simplified estimate, so your actual savings on a fully amortized loan may be slightly higher than shown here.
