How much should I save monthly for college?

Question

Accepted Answer

It depends on your child's age, current balance, and target school. College costs have inflated faster than general prices (≈5%/yr historically), so the sticker price at enrollment is usually far above today's. Rather than a flat rule of thumb, this calculator projects your actual 529 to your child's start year and solves for the monthly contribution that closes your specific gap.
