College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Eagle Gate College-Boise Campus's own numbers. Net price $30,241 × 4 years = $120,964 total. Median earnings $37,518 fall $10,842 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 $120,964 bill in about 12.1 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
