FAQ

What is the standard repayment term?

Federal loans default to a 10-year standard plan; extending to 20–25 years lowers the payment but raises total interest.

Do payments start immediately?

Most student loans have a six-month grace period after graduation before the first payment is due.

Is it worth paying extra?

Extra payments go straight to principal on most loans, cutting total interest — this calculator shows the baseline to beat.
