Cost to finish = yearly price × 4.2 years, the average time graduates took (60% 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 ($73,097) minus $40,219 for high school graduates ages 25-34 in WA (Census ACS 2020-2024), a gain of $32,878 a year.
