How are Estimated Expenses Calculated?

General Notes

1. Four quarters tuition is at the Autumn 2017 rate, per the UW Office of Planning & Budgeting Tuition and Fees files.
2. Living expenses are calculated from the 2017-18 Office of Student Financial Aid (OFSA) Student Budgets. (Books, room and board, personal, transportation, and insurance). Undergraduate students are calculated at the nontraditional rate.
3. Dependent expenses are calculated from the 2017-18 OFSA Student Budgets based on the following factors:

Spouse = [35%(non-traditional room and board)] + personal expenses + transportation expenses for non-traditional students (this is a 9-month figure converted to 12 months).
Child = Figure based on the Department of Education needs analysis EFC Formula, 2017-2018
(Table C3: Income Protection Allowance, see note for amount allowed for each additional family member (this is a 9-month figure converted to 12 months)).
