Built & maintained by Krishna Pandey. How it works & assumptions: EMI uses the standard reducing-balance formula. "Total cost of degree" = course fee + loan interest. The payback period = total cost ÷ (annual salary × the repayment-share you set), held constant for simplicity — in reality salaries rise, so real payback is usually faster. This is an educational estimate, not financial advice; confirm exact fees, rates and packages with the college and your lender. Nothing you enter is stored.
✅ Sourcing: figures use official counselling records (MCC/state) and institute circulars — cutoffs change every round; reconfirm at allotment. No cash payments; official receipts only.
Why ROI matters more than sticker fees
A ₹25 lakh MBA that lands a ₹18 LPA job can be a far better decision than a ₹6 lakh degree that leads to a ₹3 LPA role. What matters is not the fee alone, but the return on investment — how quickly your starting salary earns the cost back, and what you net over the first 5–10 years of your career. Use the calculator above to compare any two colleges or courses on the same footing: enter each option's fee and realistic expected salary, and read off the EMI, total cost and payback period side by side.
