How the lights stay on

Affiliate disclosure

This site is free, the data is free, and the calculator is free. To keep it that way, some links on this site are affiliate or partner links: if you click one and enroll in a program or buy something, the school or company may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra.

The rules we hold ourselves to

• The math never bends. Wage numbers come from BLS. Model assumptions are documented with sources on the methodology page. No commission changes a number.
• No pay-to-rank. Trades and states are ranked by data. A program never appears above another because it pays us.
• Paid links are identifiable. Partner links route through /go/ addresses and carry sponsored link attributes.
• We tell you when the answer is no. The career-switch calculator says "staying wins" when it does. A site you can only "win" is a brochure, and we are not one.

We never sell your email or personal information to anyone; see the privacy policy. Questions about any of this: brad@mail.estimationpro.ai.
