USC Financial Aid : Net Price Calculator

Instructions

Calculations are based on a student entering USC in fall 2023.
For the best results, please enter values from completed 2023 federal income tax returns.
USC will consider parent income from all sources.
Tax-related losses and depreciation do not reduce total income used to calculate eligibility for aid. (You will be asked to enter the amount of total losses after reporting Adjusted Gross Income.)
This calculator is not designed to estimate a family contribution for students whose natural parents do not live in the same household because they are divorced, separated, remarried or never married. USC determines both a custodial and a noncustodial parental contribution in these cases. If either parent is remarried, we may consider the stepparent's contribution in our official needs analysis.
