The Parental Contribution Calculator is a tool that can help parents or legal guardians of
full-time
dependent
students estimate the amount of money that they should contribute to their children's post-secondary education. The amount is based on the Canada Student Loans
need assessment
tables and will help parents determine whether their child will be eligible to obtain a government-funded student loan. Although parents are not obliged to contribute to their child's post-secondary education, the amount that should be provided is one of the factors used to assess students' eligibility for a Canada Student Loan.
Please note that Quebec, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories are not included in this application as they do not participate in the Canada Student Loans Program.
