What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $23,000. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $267 a month, about $32,046 repaid in total, of which $9,046 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $163 a month — but the total climbs to $48,768, roughly $16,722 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.

An estimate, not financial advice. Straight amortization at a fixed rate: it assumes every payment is made on time and the rate never changes, and it leaves out fees, interest that accrues while you’re still enrolled, and any forgiveness or income-driven plan.
