What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $6,100. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $71 a month, about $8,499 repaid in total, of which $2,399 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $43 a month — but the total climbs to $12,934, roughly $4,435 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.
