What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $17,000. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $197 a month, about $23,686 repaid in total, of which $6,686 is interest.

Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $120 a month — but the total climbs to $36,046, roughly $12,360 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.

Borrow $17,000 and repay it over 25 years instead of 10, and you pay $12,360 more — $36,046 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.
