Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $42,000 out-of-state sticker price at UW. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,398 net annually. The cost rises gradually to $28,383 for families earning over $110,000. Over four years, that ranges from roughly $26,000 to $114,000 total.

The typical graduate leaves with $14,615 in debt. That translates to monthly payments of $155, which is manageable against median earnings of $78,466 ten years out. Only 15.8% of students take federal loans, suggesting many families can afford the costs without borrowing heavily.

In-state students get the best deal here. They pay $12,643 in tuition compared to nearly $42,000 for out-of-state students. With 63.5% of students coming from Washington, the university clearly serves its home state well while charging premium prices to attract talent from elsewhere.
