Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator

The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) was used to determine your eligibility for federal student financial aid. It is no longer being used and it has been replaced by the Student Aid Index (SAI). SAI is calculated using information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form.

To estimate your Student Aid Index (SAI), go to the Student Aid Index Calculator.

To learn more about the Student Aid Index, go to the Student Aid Index (SAI) information page.

NEXT STEPS:

  • Compare private student loan options or student loan consolidation options.
  • Search for scholarships at Fastweb.
  • Consider education loans to help fill the gap. Remember to borrow federal first, as federal loans are cheaper, more available, and have better repayment terms.
  • Don’t overlook education tax benefits such as the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit or the American Opportunity Tax Credit
