Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses Binghamton University's school-wide net price (no college reports it by major) and this major's graduate earnings.
| Family income | Net price / yr | Cost to finish | Years to pay back |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0–30k | $12,171 | $49,779 | under 1 year |
| $30–48k | $15,281 | $62,499 | under 1 year |
| $48–75k | $20,347 | $83,219 | 1.0 years |

| $110k+ | $28,475 | $116,463 | 1.4 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.1 years, the average time graduates took (77% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Computer Engineering graduates 4 years after graduating ($117,721) minus $34,633 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in NY (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $83,088 a year.
