Financial Aid Estimator

The Financial Aid Estimator is for prospective and current undergraduate, dependent, California resident students living in on-campus residence halls. By answering a few simple questions, the calculator will present you with an early estimate of your full-time 2023–2024 cost of attendance and financial aid at UC San Diego.

When you complete the calculator online form, you are not applying for aid.

Have these documents or amounts ready before you use the calculator:

• The federal income tax returns filed by the student and the student's parent(s) from two years’ ago (For example: 2023-2024 estimator will use 2021 tax return information)

• The W-2 forms and/or pay stubs with year-to-date information for the student and parent(s) from two years’ ago (For example: 2023-2024 estimator will use 2021 tax information)

• Current bank and brokerage/investment statements

NOTE: Please be aware that if currently using the Net Price Calculator to estimate financial aid for the 2024-25 academic year, there are extensive changes in federal formula that will significantly impact this estimate.
