How to read this resultShow
Debt results compare payment timing, interest rates, fees, and payoff paths. The best option depends on whether you can keep payments consistent and avoid adding new debt.
This calculator primarily uses the assumptions you enter, with formulas kept in the tested finance engine. Market rates, local costs, lender rules, and personal circumstances can change the result.
Smart next steps
- Compare income-driven plans vs. standard before refinancing federal loans away.
- Refinancing federal loans gives up forgiveness and IDR — weigh that carefully.
- If pursuing PSLF, confirm qualifying payments and employment annually.
