The Instant Net Price Estimator provides a quick range of your cost to attend Carleton for one year. Select the number of siblings in college the year you plan to enroll. Next, drag the cursor to select your family income. The results will provide a ballpark estimate of the cost to your family.

Important note: Your net price equals the cost of attendance minus grants/scholarships. Student employment will also be included in your net price. The total amount for first-year students is around $3,200 (equal to 8 hours of work per week) and up to $4,000 for returning students (equal to 10 hours of work per week).

Important information to consider as you use this resource.

This estimator is applicable for domestic applicants only (U.S.Citizens or permanent residents).
If your parents are divorced or separated, each parent should use this tool separately and combine the results.
Estimates may be less precise for parents who are self-employed.
The number of siblings in college should reflect which siblings will be enrolled at the same time as you. If you have a sibling currently enrolled, but they will graduate before you begin college, you will not include them.
If you want to compare potential income changes or changes to the number in college, you can pin the original information and then set the estimator for an additional result. Any results that are pinned will be available below the table for comparison.
