What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $12,250. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $142 a month, about $17,068 repaid in total, of which $4,818 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $87 a month — but the total climbs to $25,974, roughly $8,906 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.
