- Goodbye regifting, hello education savings.
- Did we mention 529s cover study abroad, too – Barcelona, anyone?
Yes, we really did just make it that easy.
529s cover a wide range of school costs at all stages
529s cover a wide range of school costs at all stages, including private K-12, college, and grad school – and also off-campus housing, books, art supplies, and computers, to name just a few. Check out our FAQs to learn more.
Tax breaks for everyone saving for education
Money in a 529 grows tax-free, and Congress gives this big tax break to all families, regardless of income.
What’s more: 529 funds can rollover into Roth IRAs, up to $35k per beneficiary. Parents can also take advantage by opening 529s today for themselves; there are no age or income restrictions for 529 accounts.
The info and convenience you need, at your fingertips
Most people still don’t know about 529s, and those who do are mostly in poor-rated plans with high fees. Hadley exists to fix this.
We humanized saving for school. We guide you to what’s in your best interests, not your advisor’s.

529s can also cover trade schools, apprenticeships, and other postsecondary programs.

With its big tax advantages, a 529 plan is a super effective way to save for education. You pay absolutely no taxes on 529 investment gains AND no taxes upon withdrawal, as long as the money is used for qualifying education expenses. Some 529 savers receive additional tax breaks from their state, too, for saving in a 529 Plan.
Unlike investment advisors (who profit off your saving!), with Hadley there are no advisory, sign-up or subscription fees and plan recommendations are completely free. You only pay a nominal processing fee that ranges from $1.49 for contributions under $150 to a $20 cap for contributions over $2,000.
529 Programs charge their own fees when you enroll in one of their plans. Information about their fees is contained in the Program’s Disclosure Booklet. Fees vary with each program, and most 529 account holders today are overpaying in poorly-rated plans. Hadley routes users to top-rated 529 Plans so less money is taken out in fees and more money can be retained in your education savings account.
You can link as many 529 plans to your account as you’d like. But we mean it when we say it: we find the Plan that’s most advantageous for you. When it comes to saving for education, Hadley removes the guesswork and the pain of administration. Your savings and gifts from friends and family are in a top-rated, low-fee plan.
