Which documents count

A figure about a school comes from the school: its tuition and fees page, the budget it gives students for rent, food and insurance, its class profile and the employment report of its latest graduating class. Figures about the wider market come from public bodies: the European Central Bank for exchange rates, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for occupational wages, GOV.UK for the money a student visa requires. Blogs, admissions consultants, forums and salary websites built on anonymous posts are never the source of a number here.

Rankings published by others

The Financial Times, QS, US News and Bloomberg rank business schools with their own data and weights. We may quote one rank on a school page, as a fact with its link, and that is all: no table, no column and no sort is ever taken from them. Every ordering on this site is calculated from the schools' own figures with the formula of the method page.

Each figure has a class and a date

A salary is the one a given class reported (class of 2025, for most schools), labelled as a median or an average, base pay or total pay, exactly as the school wrote it. Tuition names the intake it applies to. Every page reads these figures from one data file per school, so a correction made once is carried by every page that uses the figure. When a school publishes nothing on a point, the page says so and leaves the line empty.

Independence

Radif Partners is paid by no school, consultant, test-preparation company or lender, and the calculators ask for nothing that identifies you. If advertising appears one day, it will be labelled and will never sit above a calculator.

Updates and corrections

Most schools publish fees and employment reports between September and December: the data is read again each autumn, and the whole site at least every 12 months. A reported error is checked against the school's document, fixed, and the update date changes. Write through the contact page.
