529 Decision Center Turns College Saving Into Four Paths

Field notes

The site organizes 529 planning around decision paths rather than a single savings target. Its example starts with a child age of 8, a $100,000 balance, ten years until college, and a 6% assumed return, then compares projected balances from $179,000 to $424,000 across four monthly contribution levels. It says visitors can adjust return, inflation, college type, and duration, while tax and state rules are linked to primary sources.
