Total student loan payments during life of loan
This is the total amount your child will have to repay, including principal and interest. This tool assumes a 10-year repayment term and a 6% interest rate.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH
When helping your child evaluate student loan options, be sure to consider both the monthly loan payment and the total payments. The monthly payments can be reduced by extending the loan term, but your child will end up paying more over time in interest.
A smarter way to reduce your child's future monthly payments is to start saving money well before college. Every dollar you save for your child will reduce the amount they will have to borrow and pay back with interest.

$41,800
The more you save for your child before college, the less they will have to pay back after college. A good rule of thumb is to keep total debt less than your child's expected annual income. That way they should be able to afford to repay their loans in 10 years or less.
Percent (%) of Your Child's Monthly Income that Goes into Paying Back Student Loan Debt
You'll also want to compare your child's monthly payments to their monthly income. Anything less than 10% is considered affordable, 15% is a stretch, and anything over 20% is not recommended.

This analysis is based on projections of college savings and college costs. It demonstrates the impact of savings on debt after graduation. The more you save, the less you'll have to borrow.

This tool assumes that a college's net price will continue to increase at the same rate as recent increases. It also assumes that the earnings in a college savings plan will reflect historical averages. Since past performance is not necessarily predictive of future performance, actual cost and return figures may vary. This tool is intended to educate consumers about the relationship between college savings and student loan debt.
