Disclaimer: This calculator compares simplified financial scenarios. Real-world outcomes depend on career path, job market conditions, investment timing and returns, tax implications, and many other factors. A 7% market return is a historical average and is not guaranteed. College provides non-financial value (personal growth, network, experiences) not captured here. This is not financial advice.
