What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $28,070. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $326 a month, about $39,110 repaid in total, of which $11,040 is interest.

Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $198 a month — but the total climbs to $59,518, roughly $20,408 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.
