What is a student loan calculator?

A student loan calculator estimates your monthly payment and total interest for education loans. Enter the principal (total borrowed or expected), interest rate, and repayment term. Federal and private student loans often have different rates and terms; use this calculator to see how much you will pay each month and over the life of the loan.

Tips for managing student loan repayment

  • Use income-driven repayment (IDR) if your income is low relative to debt.
  • Make extra payments when possible to reduce total interest.
  • Check eligibility for forgiveness (e.g. PSLF) before refinancing federal loans.
  • Refinance private loans if you qualify for a lower rate.
