How this estimate was calculated
Right at the 2025 average balance
Assumes a 6.53% fixed APR benchmark. At that same rate and term, the 2025 average balance would cost about $337/mo.
Current estimate uses the $20,000 to $39,999 balance band and a longer repayment window than the standard 10-year plan.
Why This Matters
Debt becomes easier to understand when it feels personal
Instead of showing only charts, this version lets students enter their own number and see how repayment can stretch over time as debt grows.
What Changed
Focused experience, simpler tool
This version keeps the experience centered on one clear task: helping students estimate repayment in a simple, usable format.
