Net Price Calculator
Estimate what one year at Soka may cost your family after grants and scholarships, for the 2027–2028 academic year.
Before you start
- It takes about 10 minutes. A 2025 tax return helps, but good estimates work too.
- You do not need to log in or give your name or email to get an estimate.
Where your answers go
- They stay on your device. The calculator runs entirely in your web browser. Your answers are never sent to Soka or anyone else, and the calculator does not save them.
- No one at Soka can see your answers or your estimate. That includes Admissions and the Office of Financial Aid.
- This page has no analytics or advertising trackers.
- Your name, contact details and exact dollar amounts stay on your device. The calculator runs in your web browser, does not save your answers, and never sends these to Soka or anyone else.
- Soka receives a summary of each estimate, without your name or contact details. It helps us improve the calculator. It lists . It also counts which buttons are used.
- Staff reports show totals for groups of families, with small groups hidden and most counts rounded, not individual estimates. The summaries stay in a database that only the site's administrators can reach, and they are deleted after about .
- The statistics include no IP address or cookie, and the page has no advertising trackers. Cloudflare, which hosts this page, receives your IP address to deliver it and may keep it for a limited time in its own logs. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, no summary is sent.
- The one exception is your choice: just before your estimate appears, and again at the end, you can open Soka Admissions' form to ask a counselor to contact you. It's optional and opens in a new tab, and only what you type into that form is sent.
- If you choose, you can open Soka Admissions' form, just before your estimate appears and again at the end, to ask a counselor to contact you. It's optional and opens in a new tab. It's a separate Soka site with its own cookies and visit tracking. Your answers and this estimate are not sent there.
- An estimate is not an offer. It does not guarantee admission to Soka or the aid amounts shown. Your actual aid is decided after you are admitted and apply for financial aid.

Things to consider

- Direct costs

- Indirect costs
- Estimates of other expenses not billed by Soka, such as books, transportation and personal costs.
- Grants and scholarships
- Gift aid you do not repay.
- Loans
