Most of your parents’ income is from “unearned income”, that will have a harsher calculation.

Did you have your dad also do the Net Price Calculators on the schools that you and your sibling are applying to? If not, have him do them…

You and your sibling need to ask your dad how much he can contribute towards each child’s education. Did he give a number?

I’m guessing that you and maybe a sibling are applying ED somewhere, which is why you’re filling out CSS now?

If you believe that these schools are going to expect your family to pay more than they will pay, then you need to come up with some schools that will give you merit for your stats.

How much will your parents pay each year for EACH kid in college?
