SunTrust - Education Budget Calculator

Figure out your annual costs for college.

You might not have all of your numbers in yet, but use as much verified information as you can with this calculator. For example, if you already have a financial aid package from the school you're headed to, use the tuition costs listed and any other appropriate information. If you don't have your package yet, go ahead and estimate. Better yet, ask your parents or your guidance counselor to help you plug in some of the numbers.
