HOW THIS CALCULATOR WORKS:
This calculator is intended as an educational tool. It uses the following assumptions and methodology to provide you with an indication about how much of a salary increase you may get post MBA. All examples shown in this tool are illustrative and do not represent an estimate or guarantee. Your actual returns on investment may be very different to any of the outputs generated by this calculator.
MBA salary increases:
This tool uses self-reported data disclosed by Australian MBA graduates in the 2024 Alumni survey, as conducted in October 2024. This calculator assumes that you will achieve an equal salary increase over 9 years to the self-reported average in the 2024 Alumni survey.
It is important to note that the survey data was only used for calculations in the first 9 years. For years 10 and beyond salary growth is set at 2.1% pa. This is based on the assumption that, after a period of 9 years, salary growth will align with the rate of inflation. A default Consumer Price Index (CPI) assumption of 2.1% pa is used, in accordance with the Reserve Bank of Australia’s CPI forecast for June 2025.
