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

The arithmetic, on Instituto Educativo Premier's own numbers. Net price $9,146 × 4 years = $36,584 total. Median earnings $20,182 fall $28,178 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 $36,584 bill in about 3.7 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
