Who Embeds This?
MBA admissions consultants
Give prospective clients an instant, credible answer to "is the MBA worth it for me?" — on your own site, without building anything.
University career & admissions pages
Let applicants model NPV and break-even for your program with their own salary numbers instead of quoting a static average.

Turn a static "is an MBA worth it" article into an interactive tool readers return to and share.
Student loan & fintech sites
The calculator models loan percentage, interest rate and full amortization — a natural fit next to loan comparison content.
Why This Calculator and Not a Payback Table?
Most MBA ROI tools online use a simple payback ratio: cost divided by salary increase. That ignores opportunity cost, loan interest, and the time value of money — and it overstates ROI for expensive programs. This widget runs a timing-correct discounted cash flow model: Year 0 captures out-of-pocket cost plus forgone income, Years 1–5 net out true amortized loan payments, and every flow is discounted at 6%. It is the same methodology used to evaluate any capital investment — applied to a degree.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MBA ROI calculator widget really free?
Yes. The widget is free to embed with no signup, API key, or branding fee. The only requirement is keeping the attribution link to CareerReturns below the iframe.
What does the embedded calculator compute?
It runs the same discounted cash flow engine as the full CareerReturns calculator: 10-year Net Present Value at a 6% discount rate, Internal Rate of Return, break-even year with true 5-year loan amortization, and an A–F investment grade with a risk level.
Will the widget slow my page down?
No. The iframe is lazy-loaded (loading="lazy"), so it only loads when a visitor scrolls to it, and the embed page ships a minimal bundle with no images or fonts.
Can I customize the width and height?
Yes. The widget is fully responsive — set the iframe width to 100% and it adapts from 320px phones to 720px containers. A height of 620–700px fits all content without internal scrolling.
