You own a business. You don’t have “regular income” right? I would take the results of the net price calculators with a grain of salt. Your actual results when considering a business could very much indicate you can pay way more than even what you got with the NPCs.
Re: what @happymomof1 wrote about not applying for need based aid in year one prohibiting you from doing so in subsequent years…that is the case only for a handful of colleges if you are a U.S citizen or permanent resident. So do check. This policy is very much present for international students at many, many colleges.

There are schools that have policies that bar financial aid if a student, US students included, did not apply for aid from the onset. They tend to be the need aware schools. Exceptions to the situation may apply, if there has been a drastic change in financial situation, particularly due to some unforeseen catastrophe
