常见问题
What tuition inflation rate should I use?
Historically, tuition costs have risen around 5% to 8% per year. The template uses a default you can adjust based on the type of institution.
Does it cover room and board?
Include room, board, books, and fees in the annual cost input if you want to plan for total cost of attendance, not just tuition.
Can I plan for multiple children?
This template covers one student. Duplicate the file for each child and adjust the enrollment year and contribution amounts accordingly.
What account types does this apply to?
The math works for any education savings - 529 plans, Coverdell ESAs, or general investment accounts. Enter your expected return rate regardless of account type.
