You can recover the cost of getting your master's degree quite quickly.
Getting a master's degree usually means you can move into positions of greater responsibility and authority within the system. These positions bring with them financial bonuses and higher salaries. How much higher depends upon the collective agreements for your location. Where I live someone with a master's degree who is just starting teaching will make about $7,000 more in the first year of teaching than a person just one step down on the salary scale. Salary after 11 years of experience is over $10,000 more than the next step down.
Additionally some of the bonuses that are possible with a masters degree range from about $3,000 a year for a specialist classroom teacher to more than $15,000 a year for some principals, program consultants and program specialists.
So there can be significant financial benefits to completing a master's degree. I hope this helps.

Median annual earnings of all postsecondary teachers in May 2004 were $51,800. The middle 50 percent earned between $36,590 and $72,490. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $25,460, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $99,980.
Earnings for college faculty vary according to rank and type of institution, geographic area, and field. According to a 2004-05 survey by the American Association of University Professors, salaries for full-time faculty averaged $68,505. By rank, the average was $91,548 for professors, $65,113 for associate professors, $54,571 for assistant professors, $39,899 for instructors, and $45,647 for lecturers. Faculty in 4-year institutions earn higher salaries, on average, than do those in 2-year schools. In 2004-05, faculty salaries averaged $79,342 in private independent institutions, $66,851 in public institutions, and $61,103 in religiously affiliated private colleges and universities. In fields with high-paying nonacademic alternatives—medicine, law, engineering, and business, among others—earnings exceed these averages. In others fields—such as the humanities and education—they are lower.
Many faculty members have significant earnings in addition to their base salary, from consulting, teaching additional courses, research, writing for publication, or other employment. In addition, many college and university faculty enjoy some unique benefits, including access to campus facilities, tuition waivers for dependents, housing and travel allowances, and paid sabbatical leaves. Part-time faculty usually have fewer benefits than full-time faculty.
Earnings for postsecondary career and technical education teachers vary widely by subject, academic credentials, experience, and region of the country. Part-time instructors usually receive few benefits.
