Calculadora de Contribución Familiar Esperada — Fórmula
## How to Estimate EFC
The EFC determines your eligibility for need-based financial aid.
### Simplified Formula
**EFC ≈ (22% of Income + 5.6% of Assets - Family Allowance) / Students in College**
The actual FAFSA formula is more complex, but this provides a reasonable estimate. A lower EFC means more aid eligibility.

Ejemplo Resuelto
Parent income $75,000, assets $50,000, family of 4 with 1 student.
- Income contribution = $75,000 x 0.22 = $16,500
- Asset contribution = $50,000 x 0.056 = $2,800
- Family allowance = 4 x $6,000 = $24,000
- EFC = max(0, ($16,500 + $2,800 - $24,000) / 1) = max(0, -$4,700) = $0
