NetPriceCalc - Free Net Price Calculator for HEOA 2008 Compliance
HEOA Compliance in 15 Minutes. Free. (Really.)

 

Welcome to NetPriceCalc.com.

We offer an alternative to the Department of Education's net price calculator. Our net price calculator is fully compliant with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. (In fact, it greatly exceeds their minimum requirements.)

There are many alternative net price calculators you may choose from. Naturally we think ours is the best, and we believe the price tag is unbeatable, but we invite you to be the judge. Click here to view a live demo. (This is the example described in the manual.)

You may be interested in why we decided to write NetPriceCalc and make it freely available, and you may find more information about that here.

Features of NetPriceCalc

The latest version of NetPriceCalc is V2R4, which includes support for the 2011-2012 academic year, great flexibility for additional custom expenses, aid, grants, scholarships, and your school's unique legal disclaimers and notifications. [Click here to find out more.]

Software as a Service (SaaS)

NetPriceCalc is offered as "Software as a Service," sometimes abbreviated "SaaS." SaaS is a relatively new delivery method which means:

  • There's no software to install;
  • There are no updates to download;
  • Bug fixes are quickly and universally deployed;
  • When upgrades come along, your software is upgraded "automagically;"
  • You don't need to provision hardware for it.

NetPriceCalc is an application of cloud computing. Cloud computing provides the traditional benefits of a true colocation, but without the worries of hardware maintanence. NetPriceCalc is hosted with Rackspace in their Dallas/Fort Worth datacenter.
