What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $21,672. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $252 a month, about $30,196 repaid in total, of which $8,524 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $153 a month — but the total climbs to $45,952, roughly $15,756 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.

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.
