How It Works
After you answer the basic questions describing your family circumstances, the estimator will provide information about both the amount your family would be expected to contribute toward your college costs as well as the aid you could receive from Princeton. The net price calculator uses Princeton's own formula when determining the family contribution and applies our specific packaging policies (such as no required student loan) to determine the projected aid. The current net price calculator demonstrates financial aid offers and estimated costs for the 2025-26 academic year. If your first year of college is further into the future, however, it can provide a starting point for understanding how Princeton’s aid program applies to your family.
- Net Price Calculator: After you review the results of Princeton's net price calculator, you can see how financial aid and your family's contribution can be used to cover Princeton's charges. The net price calculator will help you get an idea of your family's "bottom line" obligations.
- Limitations: The estimator is designed for families living in the United States and Canada. It will not provide accurate results for families residing outside of these countries.
Important Caveats
\ The result you receive is not a commitment of an aid offer.
Although this calculator reflects Princeton's own aid practices (which may differ from other colleges), actual offers for admitted students are determined individually by the aid office.
- Federal student aid eligibility is determined through a separate government methodology.
- Outside scholarships, employee tuition benefits, stipends, and any other financial aid awareded by organizations outside of the unversity will be considered part of the aid package and will replace Princeton grant aid dollar-for-dollar.
- The accuracy of the information you provide on the worksheet affects the accuracy of your estimated results.
- Your information will not be transmitted to Princeton or stored on this webpage. You should print a copy before you exit the calculator if you want to retain the results.
