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

The arithmetic, on Yeshiva Toras Chaim's own numbers. Net price $5,356 × 4 years = $21,424 total. Median earnings $62,526 − the $48,360 high-school baseline = $14,166 a year of premium. $21,424 ÷ $14,166 = 1.5 years to break even; twenty years of that premium minus the cost leaves $261,896. Future dollars are not discounted, and the earnings figure blends every major here — your programme can beat or miss it. Full method.
