Calculators
After you submit your FAFSA, you can expect to receive a Student Aid Report in three to five days if you applied online, and seven to 10 days if you applied by mail. While your Student Aid Report will contain your Expected Family Contribution and eligibility for federal student loans, you won’t find out your exact package until you are admitted to The Chicago School.
You don’t have to wait to start your financial planning. The following calculators can help you start thinking through the cost of your education.
 Â
Budget calculator
Because living costs are variable, our online budget calculator can help you determine your expenses and estimate your total available income while you’re in school.
Net price calculator
Net price is defined as the estimated cost of attendance minus estimated grant and scholarship aid to current and prospective undergraduate students and their families. This calculator from the Department of Education uses what similar students paid in a previous year to calculate the net price of your education.
Loan simulator
Loans may be necessary to help fund your education—but it’s important to know how loan fees and interest rates can increase your total amount owed over time.
