Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.3 years, the average time graduates took (49% 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 ($53,352) minus $32,429 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in OK (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $20,923 a year.
