What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $17,619. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $205 a month, about $24,549 repaid in total, of which $6,930 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $125 a month — but the total climbs to $37,358, roughly $12,810 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.
