Find everything you need to know about Compass.
Compass is a college planning app that helps students find schools matching their academic profile, career goals, and budget. Unlike other tools, it simulates your financial future by calculating your "Debt-Free Date."
Yes! Compass is completely free for students. We believe everyone deserves access to smart college planning tools.
Our calculations use official Federal Loan rates, real salary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and standard amortization formulas. While not financial advice, it provides a realistic projection.
We use the College Scorecard, IPEDS, Carnegie Classification data, and BLS occupational wage statistics to provide accurate and up-to-date information.
