How to Calculate Study Abroad ROI
ROI depends on total investment (tuition + living + opportunity cost of not working), the salary premium you gain post-graduation, and how quickly you can recoup the investment. A lower breakeven period means a better financial decision.
Factors Affecting Your ROI
Scholarships can dramatically reduce costs. Field of study matters — CS/Data Science grads typically earn more than liberal arts. Work permits (OPT in USA, PSW in UK, PGWP in Canada) allow you to earn abroad post-graduation, boosting ROI significantly.
