Cost Overview
Most families at Rutgers pay far less than the $33,345 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $15,885 per year, while those from middle-class families making $48,000-$75,000 pay $17,578. Even families earning $75,000-$110,000 pay $24,020, which is $9,000 less than the full cost. Over four years, this means total costs range from about $64,000 for low-income students to $134,000 for the wealthiest families.
Graduates leave with a median debt of $21,500, translating to monthly payments of $228. With median earnings of $74,479 ten years after graduation, these payments represent less than 4% of income. The 69.69% loan repayment rate shows most students can handle their debt load. In-state students get the best deal here since 83% of students are New Jersey residents who pay $17,239 in tuition rather than the $36,001 charged to out-of-state students.
