FAQ
Is this calculator accurate?▾
It's a directional estimate. We use median fee ranges and average salary-uplift numbers for online MBAs in India. Your actual numbers depend on your specific programme, current salary and post-MBA role — we'd suggest talking to a DegreeMatch advisor for a personalised estimate.
Does it include opportunity cost?▾
Yes — that's the model's main insight. Online MBAs cost less than full-time MBAs precisely because you don't quit your job. The 'opportunity cost' input here is small (lost overtime, weekends spent studying), unlike a full-time MBA where it's a year or two of full salary.
Why is payback shorter than I expected?▾
Most online MBAs in India pay back inside 3–4 years because total cash outflow is modest (₹1.5–4 lakh) and even a modest 15–25% salary bump compounds quickly. The bigger question is whether you'll actually get the bump — that depends on programme quality, your effort and the job market.
