The arithmetic, on Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute-New York's own numbers. Net price $21,623 × 4 years = $86,492 total. Median earnings $28,013 fall $20,347 short of the $48,360 high-school baseline, so the premium this formula divides by is not positive and no break-even year exists on institution-wide pay. A programme here earning $58,360 would clear the $86,492 bill in about 8.6 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
