Student Living Expenses
A standardized set of budgets is used as the basis for determining the cost of attendance at Sac State. The figures used for all categories (except Tuition & Fees and On Campus Room & Board) represent the average expenses reported by CSU students in the 2021-22 Student Expenses and Resources Survey (SEARS), adjusted for inflation with the 2025-26 CCPI and other budget estimates provided by the CSU Chancellor’s Office.
The university strongly encourages prospective students and their families to consider how their own costs might differ from those given in the estimates, including by seeking out cost of attendance estimates from other sources and by considering whether they will face other costs that are not listed in the estimate categories or how their veteran status might affect costs.
Living Expense Estimates for Informational Purposes
| 2025-2026 Cost of Attendance | Living with Parents | Living On-Campus | Living Off-Campus |

The room and board expenses included in the off-campus Cost of Attendance represent the typical costs students pay when enrolled at Sac State. Actual costs of room and board will vary. Many students living off-campus have roommates, which decreases their housing costs.

- Graduate Professional Business Fee: $303.00 per unit plus tuition fees, mandatory campus fees listed above and non-resident tuition (if applicable).
Net Price Calculator
The Sac State Net Price Calculator is intended to provide estimated net price information (defined as estimated cost of attendance - including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board (meals), and other related expenses - minus estimated grant and scholarship aid) to current and prospective students and their families based on what similar students paid in a previous year.
