Student Loan Payoff & Interest Calculator

Estimate monthly payments, payoff timeline, and total interest with ease

How Student Loan Interest Works
Most student loans use simple interest that accrues daily or monthly. Our calculator shows how payments reduce your balance and interest over time.
How Extra Payments Reduce Interest
Adding even small extra payments each month can save thousands in interest and shorten your loan term.
Fixed vs Variable Loans
Fixed loans have steady rates and predictable payments. Variable loans can change over time. This tool only calculates fixed interest.
