What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $14,751. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $171 a month, about $20,553 repaid in total, of which $5,802 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $104 a month — but the total climbs to $31,277, roughly $10,725 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.
