College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.

The arithmetic, on Indiana Institute of Technology's own numbers. Net price $23,206 × 4 years = $92,824 total. Median earnings $47,327 fall $1,033 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 $92,824 bill in about 9.3 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
