Estimate monthly student loan payments, compare accelerated payoff options to save interest, and project future debt accumulations including in-school interest accrual and capitalization.
• Simple Calculator: Solve for any single unknown variable (Monthly Payment, Financed Balance, Loan Term, or Interest Rate).
• Repayment Calculator: Model how extra monthly or annual payments slash loan payoff timelines and total interest paid.
• Projection Calculator: Project future balances at graduation accounting for subsidized vs. unsubsidized loan accrual.
Please provide any three values below to calculate.
Monthly payment allocations and remaining balance over 10 years.
Understanding the mechanics of federal student loan repayment options, in-school interest accrual, and income-driven plans helps borrowers minimize total repayment costs.
When unsubsidized loans exit grace or forbearance periods, accrued unpaid interest is added onto the principal balance (capitalization). Paying just the monthly interest during college prevents your principal from expanding.
Federal IDR plans (such as SAVE, IBR, and PAYE) cap your monthly student loan payment at 5% to 10% of your discretionary income and forgive any remaining balance after 10 to 25 years of qualifying payments.
Borrowers employed full-time by government agencies or qualifying 501(c)(3) non-profits can receive 100% tax-free loan forgiveness after making 120 qualifying monthly payments under an eligible repayment plan.
