When prospective students visit a college website, one of the first questions they ask is “How much will this cost?”
Unfortunately, tuition information often isn’t easy to find. When prospects have to jump between web pages, download files, or manually add up costs, they can get frustrated. Every extra step creates friction that can slow down the admissions journey.
Jotform’s new Tuition Calculator widget helps demystify tuition costs. It’s free to use and easy to add to your admissions website. Plus, prospective students can use the interactive tuition estimator anytime.
The easier it is for site visitors to see how much they may have to pay for tuition, the more seamless the admissions experience will be. This transparency also builds trust from the very beginning of the journey.
Help students estimate costs with confidence
When prospective students visit your admissions website, they want to know the approximate cost of attending. They don’t want to have to hunt for this information. An interactive tuition calculator gives them a faster, more personalized way to get this information, and it helps them move to the next step in the admissions process.
Administrators can customize the Tuition Calculator widget with details like
- Credit hours
- Student residency type (such as in-state, out-of-state, or international)
- Housing
- Meal plans
- Books and other fees
- Additional costs unique to the institution
The widget can account for estimated grants and scholarships, allowing prospective students to view a projected net cost rather than the published tuition price.
This gives families a more realistic understanding of the institution’s affordability and encourages students to explore your institution.
A free tool that benefits your school
The Jotform Tuition Calculator widget is completely free to use. A paid plan isn’t required, and there are no usage or page view limits. You also get unlimited embeds and the option to remove Jotform branding from the widget at no additional cost.
This means institutions of any size and with any budget can offer the interactive tuition calculator on their website.
Whether you’re supporting a single department or your entire institution’s website, the Tuition Calculator widget makes it easy to give prospective students a faster, more interactive way to explore college costs.

Getting started doesn’t require a developer or any technical expertise.
Customize the calculator with your institution’s tuition structure, including credit-hour pricing, housing costs, meal plan fees, and other expenses.
Then match the design to your school’s branding and embed the widget on your website using a simple copy-and-paste code snippet. The widget works with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, and custom HTML sites.
It’s that simple. The Tuition Calculator widget is one of more than 50 free Jotform Website Widgets. All of them are easy to use, and they enable organizations to add interactive, no-code functionality to their websites.
