What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $11,992. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $139 a month, about $16,708 repaid in total, of which $4,716 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $85 a month — but the total climbs to $25,427, roughly $8,719 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. Planning4College is not a financial advisor and sells no loans. Check real terms with your school’s financial aid office and studentaid.gov.
