OP, just read the directions carefully.

You are one person with one set of circumstances. Contrary to your obvious beliefs, yours are not the only circumstances they have designed the system for.


And really is it that hard to say to yourself "111>67. Therefore I must pay the full 67."?

This is a really unhelpful answer and I'm not sure what motivated you in posting it. Our oldest is going into his senior year so we are digging into the NPC and trying to figure out if we are doing it correctly or whether we've misinterpreted the spectacularly limited directions, which might explain why I got an answer I wasn't expecting. Where exactly are you reading my "obvious beliefs" that I'm looking for special treatment for my family? I'm not. I'm trying to figure out if I did it correctly or not, from people who have BTDT. An honest question that did not deserve your snark.

So the answer is, you are full pay. When your second child begins school, perhaps you will get some aid. You are t looking for special treatment, but certainly expecting the calculator to be more tailored to your unique circumstances than it can possibly be.

Next year, you are full pay.
