The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) calculator previously helped in estimating the student and the family’s contribution towards the cost of attending college for an academic year. Beginning with FAFSA year 2024-25, the Student Aid Index (SAI) has replaced the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) formula. The SAI is similar to the EFC with a few different factors that will now be considered when determining the student’s aid.
