The estimator is a tool to help families estimate the Parent Contribution. Using this tool will help you understand how Dartmouth's financial aid policies may apply to your specific situation. The estimator is calibrated for the 2009-2010 academic year.
In order to use the estimator, you will need information about your income, taxes and some other financial obligations. In addition, you will need information about your assets (including savings, investments, home equity, and other assets).
Please note:
- The information entered into the calculator will not be saved or transmitted to Dartmouth.
- The calculated estimate is not a legally binding contract.
- If the contribution calculated using the federal need analysis is higher than Dartmouth's calculation, the higher figure must be used.
The Financial Aid Office at Dartmouth makes the final determination of the Parental Contribution and may compute a different figure than this estimator after reviewing all required application materials. In assessing a family's eligibility for aid, the Financial Aid Office will review the College Scholarship Service's PROFILE, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), copies of parent and student 2008 W-2 forms, and all pages and schedules of 2008 federal income tax returns (if appropriate, Business Supplements, business tax returns or the Noncustodial PROFILE application).
