Great question! At Pollster Education, we understand that parents want to ensure their investment in their child’s overseas education is worthwhile. Calculating the Return on Investment (ROI) for studying in New Zealand involves several steps:

1. Calculate Total Investment

A. Tuition Fees:
- Varies depending on course and university (average NZD $22,000–$32,000 per year for most undergraduate and postgraduate programs).

B. Living Expenses:

C. Additional Costs:

2. Estimate Potential Earnings After Graduation

A. Post-Study Work Visa (PSW):
- After graduation, students can stay and work in New Zealand for up to 3 years (depending on qualification level and location).

B. Average Graduate Salaries:
- Entry-level salaries for graduates in New Zealand typically range from NZD $45,000–$60,000 per year (varies by field: IT, Engineering, Business, Healthcare, etc.).

3. ROI Calculation Formula

ROI (%) = [(Estimated Post-study Salary x No. of PSW Years) – Total Investment] / Total Investment x 100

Example ROI Calculation:

- Total Investment: NZD $52,000
- Average Salary: NZD $50,000/year
- PSW Duration: 3 years
Total Potential Earnings: NZD $150,000

ROI = [(150,000 – 52,000) / 52,000] x 100 = 188%
