What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $18,685. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $217 a month, about $26,034 repaid in total, of which $7,349 is interest.
Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $132 a month — but the total climbs to $39,619, roughly $13,585 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.
