How accurate is NYU's net price calculator?

For reference, my family makes about $150k a year and according to NYU’s NPC, if I were to live off-campus on my own (which it’s possible for me to do for little to no cost), I would receive around $45k in grants and aid (nothing mentioned about loans) a year, making tuition around $28k (which I can almost afford!). Does this sound accurate? It doesn’t go nearly as in depth as any other school’s calculator I’ve used and I’ve pretty much heard nothing but bad things about NYU’s financial aid so I’m very reluctant to trust it.
