What Students and Advisors Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"I was unsure whether an MBA was worth the cost. This calculator showed me a clear break-even at year 4 and a 180% ROI by year 10 — it gave me the confidence to apply."
"I use this in every advising session. Students can see in real time how a salary uplift of even 20% translates into a positive ROI within a few years. It changes the conversation completely."
"The year-by-year table is excellent for visualising when the investment turns positive. I export the PDF and include it in student financial planning packets — very professional output."
"Comparing two master's programmes side by side using the CSV export in Google Sheets made it obvious which offered better value per year of investment. Saved me hours of manual work."
