Key Insights

  • Your MBA investment is projected to pay for itself in {formatYears(results.paybackPeriod)}
  • Your 10-year ROI of {formatPercent(results.tenYearROI)} represents a solid financial return
  • Regional adjustment factor of {results.regionMultiplier.toFixed(2)}x accounts for location-based salary differences
  • Your total 10-year additional earnings from the MBA: {formatCurrency(results.tenYearEarnings - (results.opportunityCost + (inputs.currentSalary * 10)))}

This calculator provides estimates based on the information you provide. Actual returns may vary.
