Student loans are typically categorized into two main types: federal loans and private loans. Federal loans offer fixed interest rates set by Congress, while private loans have variable rates set by lenders. Federal loans generally offer more borrower protections, including income-driven repayment plans that allow you to pay as little as 10% of your discretionary income.
Income-driven repayment (IDR) plans such as PAYE, REPAYE, and SAVE can significantly lower your monthly payments if you have high debt-to-income ratios. However, they typically result in more interest paid over the life of the loan due to the longer repayment period.
Consider your long-term financial goals when choosing a repayment strategy. Paying more than the minimum can save substantial interest and get you debt-free faster. Use this calculator to explore different scenarios.
