Budgeting for Costs

Our Bottom Line Estimator can help you calculate if you will owe money or receive a refund after receiving financial aid for the semester. The estimator allows you to enter your housing choices, enrollment and individual information, then automatically subtracts the financial aid you are scheduled to receive.

To access the Bottom Line Estimator

  1. Log in at myBoiseState.
  2. Choose “Bottom Line Estimator” from the My Account tab or type “estimator” in the Services search box (add it as a resource for easy access in the future).
  3. Make sure you understand the benefits and limitations of the estimator before you continue by signing the disclaimer.
  4. Enter information about your enrollment, housing, additional costs and fees. The final summary shows if you have an owing balance after financial aid, or if you will receive a refund.
