See the true 4-year cost of college in today's and future dollars — then find out exactly how much to save each month to be ready, plus the tax advantage of a 529 plan.
College tuition has historically inflated at 4–6% per year — more than double the general inflation rate. A public in-state school costing $28,000 today costs $40,000 in 10 years at 4% inflation. Starting a 529 plan at birth gives 18 years of compound growth — significantly reducing the monthly savings burden vs. starting at age 13.
