| Family income | Average net price paid |
|---|---|
| $0–$30,000 | $16,015 |
| $30,001–$48,000 | $18,193 |
| $48,001–$75,000 | $23,806 |
| $75,001–$110,000 | $29,048 |
| $110,001+ | $31,431 |

That works out to roughly a 27% discount below the federal AY 2021-22 average cost of attendance of $38,757 (College Scorecard — a separate, federally reported figure, not the published cost of attendance shown above).
Miami University is a public school; Scorecard's net price figure covers in-state, Title-IV-aid-recipient payers only — there is no comparable federal figure for out-of-state students.
