What the national data shows
Spain has no single survey like France's, so this stitches two official sources: INE's graduate insertion survey (EILU) for employment and contract, and the Social-Security register for what business-field graduates actually earn. Read it as directional.
Two sources, two caveats: INE's EILU survey is robust on employment and contract but its cohort graduated in 2013-14, and the €26,807 business-field salary is gross/year from the Social-Security register (2018-19 cohort) blending bachelor's and master's. No single Spanish source gives a clean business-master's median.

After completing an EQF-6 or higher degree — a Master's qualifies — at a Spanish institution, international graduates can apply for the residence authorisation for job search or to start a business, valid for up to 24 months and non-renewable. It is a generous window by European standards, opened up by Spain's 2022 immigration reform.
One catch: the authorisation does not itself permit you to work — once you find a suitable job you convert it to a residence-and-work permit. Apply between 60 days before and 90 days after your student stay expires.
Tuition vs. salary
Tuition across these programs runs from €9,000 to €52,000, against a median graduate salary of $95,000.
Tuition is shown in EUR and salary in US dollars (the FT's reporting currency), so treat this as a rough orientation, not a precise return-on-investment ratio. Living costs, scholarships and exchange rates all move the real number.
