Net Price Calculator
Estimate what one year at Soka may cost your family after grants and scholarships, for students starting college in 2027–28.
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.
- The one exception is your choice: at the end, you can ask Soka Admissions to contact you. Only what you type into that form is sent.
- 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.

This is an estimate, not a financial aid offer
This estimate does not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance. It shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, Soka University of America, or the State, and it may change. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for, and receive, an actual financial aid award that includes federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance.
