How We Calculate ROI

Total Program Cost

Annual tuition multiplied by 2 (standard 2-year MBA). Excludes living expenses and opportunity cost of forgone salary during school.

Post-MBA Salary

Each school's reported median starting salary, adjusted by your target industry: +8% consulting, +5% finance, -3% tech (base salary; equity excluded).

10-Year Earnings Gain

The salary increase over 10 post-graduation years minus total program cost. Payback period = program cost ÷ annual salary increase.
