Guide to Canadian Calculator
The College Board Expected Family Contribution Calculator is designed for use by students who live in, or are citizens of, the U.S. or Canada. If you are a Canadian citizen, the following answers to specific questions will help provide a closer estimate of your expected family contribution.
| Pick a Formula | Federal Methodology (FM) |
|---|---|
| Adjusted gross income (AGI) | T1 General Income Tax and Benefit Return Line 150 |
| Untaxed income/benefits | Report child support received, housing allowances, all other untaxed income |
| U.S. income taxes paid | T1 General Income Tax and Benefit Return Line 435 |
Please note that the College Board EFC Calculator results are designed to provide families with an estimate and the College Board EFC calculation is not tied into Hamilton’s institutional methodology in determining a families’ EFC. The Financial Aid Office is the final authority on financial aid eligibility (which includes expected family contribution and potential need-based aid). If you have questions about the estimate produced by the College Board EFC Calculator, contact the Financial Aid Office.
