College Scorecard (2026 release), institution-level · payback and returns are our math.
The arithmetic, on Miller-Motte College-Macon's own numbers. Net price $21,074 × 4 years = $84,296 total. Median earnings $31,102 fall $17,258 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 $84,296 bill in about 8.4 years — the gap, not the price, is what blocks payback. Full method.
