Education Investment Planner
Model and manage the total cost of college
Sallie Mae's Education Investment Planner is a revolutionary new interactive tool that will help empower families and students with comprehensive and dynamic information by letting them model and manage the total cost of college. While many simple calculators and tools have been available to families over the years, the Planner goes beyond what has existed before.
The Planner lets families
- model the total multi-year cost of education,
- compare those costs across schools,
- build a plan for how to pay based on their personal finances, and
- understand the costs of any borrowing.
At Sallie Mae we know that families need to understand the full range of options and the effects of their choices in order to make wise decisions. Therefore, Sallie Mae's Education Investment Planner is a free online tool that is built on our commitment to increasing financial literacy and being a trusted advisor.
While we hope you'll agree that the Planner is an amazing resource today, over the months and years to come we are adding new functionality that will make the Planner the first and last stop for anyone who wants to plan and pay for college. If a student is deciding which school to attend or if a parent is planning for their child to go to college 18 years from now, Sallie Mae's Education Investment Planner will make that process easier and simpler.
