Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses Johns Hopkins 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 | $428 | $1,755 | under 1 year |
| $30–48k | $0 | $0 | under 1 year |
| $48–75k | $4,179 | $17,134 | under 1 year |
| $75–110k | $14,591 | $59,823 | under 1 year |
| $110k+ | $37,774 | $154,873 | 1.6 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.1 years, the average time graduates took (87% finished in 4 years; students who entered fall 2017, IPEDS). Years to pay back = cost to finish ÷ the earnings gain: median earnings of Mathematics graduates 4 years after graduating ($134,785) minus $36,731 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in MD (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $98,054 a year. Before taxes, loan interest and earnings given up while in school. Method
