What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $17,375. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $202 a month, about $24,209 repaid in total, of which $6,834 is interest.

Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $123 a month — but the total climbs to $36,841, roughly $12,632 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.

Borrow $17,375 and repay it over 25 years instead of 10, and you pay $12,632 more — $36,841 in all, about 2.1× what you borrowed. The monthly payment is smaller; the loan is not.

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.
