Lifetime Earnings Gain vs Career Years Remaining
公式
How to Calculate Education ROI
Education ROI compares the cost of education to the lifetime earnings premium it provides.
Formula
Lifetime Gain = (Earnings Increase x Career Years) - Education Cost
ROI = (Lifetime Gain / Education Cost) x 100
On average, a bachelor's degree holder earns $1.2 million more over a lifetime compared to a high school diploma holder.
计算示例
A $100,000 education increases earnings from $35,000 to $55,000 over 30 career years.
- 01Annual earnings gain = $55,000 - $35,000 = $20,000
- 02Lifetime gain = $20,000 x 30 - $100,000 = $500,000
- 03ROI = ($500,000 / $100,000) x 100 = 500%
- 04Breakeven = $100,000 / $20,000 = 5 years
