College Cost Calculator

College cost and estimated family contribution (EFC) calculators can be useful financial planning tools. Families can use them to get an idea of how much they may be expected to contribute towards educational expenses based on their current financial situation.

Take me to the College Board's EFC Calculator.

Please keep in mind: These calculators only provide an estimate of your expected family contribution, and may not take into consideration some resources that may affect your eligibility for financial aid at Northwestern. The exact cost to attend Northwestern can be determined only after an official review has been completed of your financial aid application materials.

These additional cost calculators from the College Board may also be useful.
