College ROI Calculator

Calculate the financial return on investment for a college degree by comparing lifetime earnings with and without a degree, accounting for both direct costs and opportunity costs.

Important Considerations:

• This calculator uses simplified assumptions (no raises, inflation, or career growth)
• Actual outcomes vary widely by major, school, and individual circumstances
• Non-financial benefits (personal growth, network, experiences) aren't quantified
• Consider scholarships, grants, and part-time work to reduce costs
