| Summary: | Several reasons are responsible for income disparity across different nations. Education established itself to be the primary reason for such disparities. Therefore, estimation of return on investments in education has become a great concern of the researchers in recent years.

Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the private financial return on investments in education in Tangail City of Bangladesh. To pursue the study, the required data from 100 respondents from the study area were collected. The study employed the Mincerian Model for estimating the rate of private financial return on investments in 1 year education in Tangail City. It found the rate 2.1% which is very low.
