We understand that your ability to pay for college is critical in choosing where you to go. For some, it's the biggest factor. That's why we have several planning tools available to help you and your family to get a better sense for what your costs might be or to estimate how much financial aid you might qualify for.
Undergraduate Student Cost Estimator
Our cost estimator lets you customize your costs for a given year, for multiple years, or to help you know what it would cost if you changed schools here at UVA. You can also use it to know what your costs might be if you were to live off-Grounds or not take a meal plan. Just note: the estimator is not a financial aid calculator.
MyinTuition (the calculator for the 2025-2026 academic year is under construction)
MyinTuition is an easy-to-use tool to help you get a clearer sense of how much financial aid you might be eligible for and, therefore, how much of the costs for college you'll need to cover from other resources. The more certain you are of the information you put in to the calculator, the more reliable the results will be and the more they will be customized to your family's specific financial circumstances.
Net Price Calculator (the calculator for the 2025-2026 academic year is under construction)
The Net Price Calculator, provided by the US Department of Education, is an alternative tool to help you get a sense for your costs. It asks more questions than MyinTuition, so we recommend starting with MyinTuition when you are trying to compare results between schools that meet 100% of demonstrated need. The Net Price Calculator may provide more useful results for comparison with schools that do not use MyinTuition.
