About FastGrad
We help students find faster, cheaper paths to high-income careers — backed by real data, not marketing.
Why FastGrad Exists
Too many students spend 4-6 years and $100K+ on degrees when faster, cheaper paths to the same careers exist. FastGrad shows you those paths with transparent data so you can make an informed decision.
Our Methodology
Salary data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics program. Tuition figures use published rates from accredited institutions. Savings calculations are transparent — every number in the calculator can be traced back to its source.
Our Commitments
FastGrad is 100% free to use. No paywalls, no premium tiers, no hidden costs.
We are privacy-first — no tracking scripts, no data selling. Your information stays in your browser.
Every calculation is open. You can see exactly how we arrive at every number in your savings estimate.
