What Is the Net Price Calculator?
The Net Price Calculator is a simple, federal tool that estimates your out-of-pocket cost based on your academic profile and financial information.
In just a few minutes, you will receive an estimate that includes:
- Tuition and fees
- Estimated scholarships and grants
- Financial aid eligibility
- Your projected net cost
Why does the Net Price Calculator show an older academic year?
CSM uses the federal Net Price Calculator template, which is updated on the Department of Education’s schedule and uses the most recent reported data. That data runs about two years behind the current year. Your estimate will show roughly what students like you have paid in the past.
Before You Start
For the most accurate estimate, have:
- GPA or academic information
- Parent income details
- Household size and number in college
This is an estimate and does not replace your official financial aid offer.
