    How the money works

    Start saving with a tax-free 529 plan and save more with family and friends. Make saving for education a team effort that's fun and stress-free. Supercharge your savings with a tax-free 529 investment account.

    Backer charges a flat monthly fee of $5 to manage your 529s. Backer is so confident in their product that they came up with something called the Backer Promise: you won't pay Backer a fee until you see your savings start to grow.
