The UC systemwide financial aid calculator can help you assess how much it will cost you to attend UC for one year. Use the calculator to estimate the amount of gift aid (free money) you could receive as part of your financial aid award. The calculator can also help you figure out your estimated net costs, which is the total cost of attendance minus the estimated gift aid. Keep in mind that there may be other financial aid options, such as work-study and student loans, to help you cover your net cost.

Remember, the calculator provides an estimate, not exact results.
