Net Price Calculator (NPC): 
​Each college offers a ​net price calculator. Net price is the attendance cost that students and parents need to pay for out-of-pocket, or through student loans. The NPC asks questions about the parents’ income, taxes, and assets to estimate the college’s total cost minus any grants and scholarships the student might be eligible for.
  • NPC for all schools from the US Department of Education
