Net Price Calculator

Before You Begin

The below calculator is used to provide an estimate based on the information you enter. As a reminder you will still need to be sure to apply for aid, as this does not serve as your aid application(s).

2026-2027 Aid Estimates

The calculator is currently based on budgets and packaging policy for 2026-2027 which are based on tax year 2024 for tax related questions. If you plan to attend in a future year and want to estimate future aid, you will use tax information two years prior to the year you plan to attend to get an estimate (please be aware budgets and packaging policy are subject to change in future years).

Welcome

This tool is designed to give prospective students an early indication of the amount of financial aid for which they might qualify. The figures generated here will estimate the net price for a full-time, new student based on the 2026 - 2027 academic year costs. This calculator is not an application for, or a guarantee of, a particular financial aid package.

To make a personalized net price estimate, the calculator examines:
• Income (have your tax forms and W-2 forms handy)
• Number of family members
• Number of children in college
• Assets, savings
• Investments
• Home value and mortgage debt
• Medical expenses
• Additional financial circumstances

To start estimating your college expenses, log in with your account details under 'User Account'.

Note

The estimate provided using this net price calculator does not represent a final determination or actual offer of financial assistance. The cost of attendance and financial aid availability may change. This estimate shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, or the State of North Carolina.
