Your students want to know what college will really cost.
Is your Net Price Calculator giving them answers?
Net Price Calculator Development & Management
Go beyond compliance.
Connect affordability, student experience, and enrollment strategy.
A Net Price Calculator should do more than provide an estimate. It should help prospective students and families understand the potential cost of attendance, navigate financial aid considerations, and take the next step in their enrollment journey.
BPS develops customized Net Price Calculators that reflect your institution's financial aid policies, academic offerings, and enrollment priorities—combining technical functionality with the expertise of experienced enrollment management practitioners.
Built for Your Institution. Designed for Your Students.
No two institutions approach tuition, financial aid, or enrollment in exactly the same way. Your Net Price Calculator should reflect those differences.
Our customized solutions are designed to:
Improve affordability transparency. Provide prospective students and families with meaningful estimates informed by institutional awarding practices.
Simplify the student experience. Streamline financial questions and provide clear guidance to help students navigate the process.
Support diverse student populations. Accommodate different programs, enrollment pathways, start terms, and tuition structures.
Strengthen recruitment connections. Create optional opportunities for students to connect with admissions and financial aid teams.
Reduce administrative complexity. Align calculator development and ongoing maintenance with institutional systems and priorities.
Seamlessly Integrated with Slate CRM
For institutions using Slate, BPS offers a distinct advantage: Net Price Calculators developed natively within your existing Slate environment.
Rather than relying on a separate third-party calculator and additional integrations, our approach allows institutions to leverage their existing CRM infrastructure.
Native Slate functionality supports:
Institutionally branded experiences hosted on your domain
Real-time calculation of estimated financial aid
Direct insertion of student information into Slate when students opt to submit
Integration with existing recruitment campaigns and communications
Customized data collection aligned with institutional inquiry processes
Reduced dependence on external systems and data transfers
Not using Slate? BPS can host your calculator within our Slate environment and establish customized data delivery to your institutional systems.
Customized for Institutional Complexity
Whether your institution serves traditional undergraduate students or multiple academic divisions with distinct pricing structures, BPS builds solutions around your specific requirements.
Our Net Price Calculators can accommodate:
Undergraduate, graduate, professional, and certificate programs
Online, on-campus, and other enrollment pathways
Multiple start terms and academic calendars
In-state, out-of-state, and program-specific tuition
Per-credit and comprehensive pricing structures
Institution-specific financial aid awarding methodologies
We work collaboratively with institutional stakeholders to determine the appropriate level of detail, financial transparency, and customization for the populations you serve.

Implementation
& Ongoing Support
Following implementation, BPS provides ongoing maintenance, necessary regulatory updates, and accessibility support to help keep your calculator current and effective.
Enrollment Expertise Behind Every Calculation
BPS approaches Net Price Calculator development differently because we understand the institutional decisions behind the technology.
Our work is informed by experience across enrollment management, financial aid awarding, institutional strategy, and Slate CRM.
We understand how financial aid policies influence affordability perceptions, how prospective students engage with recruitment communications, and how institutional systems must work together to support enrollment goals.
That expertise shapes both the calculator we develop and the partnership we provide.

Your Net Price Calculator is an opportunity to help students understand affordability and create more meaningful connections throughout the enrollment journey.
