Cost to finish and years to pay back, by income
Uses UTEP'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 | $7,863 | $37,035 | 1.6 years |
| $30–48k | $8,136 | $38,321 | 1.6 years |
| $48–75k | $10,120 | $47,665 | 2.0 years |
| $75–110k | $14,093 | $66,378 | 2.8 years |
| $110k+ | $18,282 | $86,108 | 3.6 years |
Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.7 years, the average time graduates took (21% 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 ($57,392) minus $33,516 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in TX (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $23,876 a year. Before taxes, loan interest and earnings given up while in school. Method
