Frequently Asked Questions

How is the "Time to Recover Cost" calculated?
It determines how many years of post-graduation savings are needed to pay back your total Net Investment (Tuition + Living + Opportunity Cost - Part-time Earnings).
Does this calculation include inflation?
No, this calculator uses current value estimates to keep the comparison simple and immediate.
Why is the Public University ROI so high?
Because tuition is near-zero in countries like Germany, your only major cost is living expenses. This reduces your upfront "debt" significantly, leading to a break-even point often under 1 year.
