FAFSA at least has an adjustment for whether the income is earned by one parent or two because the FICA will be different, the costs of two parents commuting and the misc expenses of having two parents work, but it is not a huge difference.

Whether one parent earning $10k more matters might depend on how far under the max for that school the combined income it. If Stanford is meeting 100$ of need for families earning under $100k, and one parent earns $50k and one $30k, that family still has $20k in room to earn more before any adjustment.
