What that debt costs to repay. Typical debt here is about $25,439. At 7% over 10 years — the standard federal plan — that is roughly $295 a month, about $35,444 repaid in total, of which $10,005 is interest.

Stretch the same balance over 25 years and the payment drops to $180 a month — but the total climbs to $53,939, roughly $18,495 more in interest. A smaller payment is not a smaller loan.

Borrow $25,439 and repay it over 25 years instead of 10, and you pay $18,495 more — $53,939 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.
