CUNY Net Price Calculator
The CUNY Net Price Calculator is a Financial Aid Estimator designed to help you understand the potential cost of attending CUNY and the financial aid you may qualify to receive.
Using this tool, you can:
- Estimate your total cost of attendance
- View potential federal and state financial aid awards
- Compare CUNY’s affordability with other institutions
- Make more informed college planning decisions
What You’ll Need
To receive an estimate, you must enter your Student Aid Index (SAI).
Your SAI is located on your FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS), which you receive after submitting your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
If you have not yet completed your FAFSA, you may do so at www.studentaid.gov
Next Steps
Once you receive your FAFSA Submission Summary and have your SAI:
- Return to the CUNY Net Price Calculator
- Enter your SAI and the requested information
- Review your estimated financial aid package
Please note: The Net Price Calculator provides an estimate only and does not represent a final financial aid award.
