Bill overview
The Net Price Calculator Improvement Act aims to make college cost estimates more accurate and accessible for prospective students. It sets minimum standards for net price calculators used by colleges and universities, including clearer labeling, detailed cost breakdowns, and information about potential financial aid. The bill also proposes a ‘universal’ net price calculator developed by the Department of Education to provide estimates from any institution, ensuring consistency and ease of use for students and families. Finally, it requires the Department to report on efforts to increase awareness of these calculators among students, especially those from low-income backgrounds.
