Best Answer

Your EFC is figured out after you report information about your specific situation on the FAFSA.

It is based on a formula established by law.

This formula considers your family’s taxed and untaxed income, assets, benefits, family size, and number of family members attending college. If any of these things has changed, then your Expected Family Contribution will be different.

Your college figures out how much need-based aid you will receive by subtracting your EFC from your Cost of Attendance.

Your EFC is not how much financial aid you will receive, nor is it how much money you will have to pay for college.

How does this compare to the fafsa?

Fafsa loans have a much lower interest rate than a loan you will get from the bank. Also, with fafsa a portion of your loan will be subsidized so you do not have to pay interest on that part. If you are already attending college talking to your financial counselor is the best bet.
