What Should Be Included in MBA Cost?
A complete MBA cost estimate can include tuition, university fees, books, technology, travel, health insurance, living expenses and other program-related costs. Scholarships, grants and employer sponsorship reduce the direct amount you pay.
Why Include Opportunity Cost?
If you reduce or stop working during an MBA, the salary and bonus you give up can be a major part of the true economic cost. Part-time, online and executive MBA students may retain more employment income.
How Student Loans Affect MBA Cost
Student loans do not increase the original tuition amount, but interest and origination fees increase the total amount spent to finance the degree. This calculator adds those financing costs separately to avoid counting the loan principal twice.
Direct Cost vs Economic Cost
Direct cost is the amount spent on the MBA after scholarships and employer support. Economic cost is broader because it can also include lost employment income and financing expenses.
