OP here--when I wrote out the scenario I assumed a gross salary, not a net of taxes salary.

Does anyone know whether you give the total HHI or the AGI for financial aid? We are right on the edge of not qualifying for anything unless they ask for our Adjusted Gross Income (which is not really income after paying taxes but rather the income that is subject to taxes). TIA

The calculator states gross

is that gross or adjusted gross? If its the former we are out of luck, if it is the latter, we can expect some help.
TIA

Gross. Not AGI. Plus the calculate any money in your child's name, such as 529.

Thanks for the clarification

Exactly. But we are living in the Age of Entitlement. So annoying.
