I know there is the BusinessWeek calculator, but I am not sure how up to date it is considering the page I found it on was from 2001. I know the number's can't be right. Here is why.
I currently work for a non-profit and make 42k a year. The cost including tuition/room/board for me would be 65k. It would all be loans. The average salary for marketing grads is 61k. It told me the total cost of my MBA would be 96k, and my breakeven point would be 5 years which can't be right since I will have 65k of costs even before factoring in lost salary.
Anyone have an easier way of calculating this or a more up to date calculator?
I could have gotten into better with my stats, but my significant other has a very lucrative position in the city that it really would not make sense for her to leave..

Don't forget to factor in the opportunity cost of lost salary for not working for 1 or 2 years.
