What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $18,973. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $220 a month, about $26,435 repaid in total, of which $7,462 is interest.

Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $134 a month — but the total climbs to $40,229, roughly $13,794 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.
