What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $18,401. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $214 a month, about $25,638 repaid in total, of which $7,237 is interest.

Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $130 a month — but the total climbs to $39,016, roughly $13,378 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.

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.
