Types of Student Loans.

Student loan repayment calculator

Estimate your monthly payment, total interest, and total cost — and see how much you could save by paying a little extra each month. Everything is calculated right in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere and there's no sign-up.

This is an estimate using the standard amortization formula and the numbers you enter. It assumes a fixed rate and equal monthly payments, and it is informational only — not financial advice. Your actual loan terms, fees, and any variable rate may differ. See how we research and calculate, and always confirm current details at studentaid.gov.
