What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $9,413. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $109 a month, about $13,115 repaid in total, of which $3,702 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $67 a month — but the total climbs to $19,959, roughly $6,844 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.
