Income Based Student Loan Calculator

Student loans are an expensive way to finance higher education, but they’re also a necessary part of making it through college. Income based student loan repayment is an option that allows qualified borrowers to reduce their monthly payments if they experience financial hardship. The repayment plan is available for both federal and private student loans.

Various repayment options are available for Federal Student Loans including Income Based Repayment

There are three types of income-driven repayment plans available for Federal Student Loans which include the following:

• Pay As You Earn (PAYE) – This plan is only available if you took out your first loan after October 1, 2007 and had no outstanding balance on your loans as of June 30, 2014.
• Income Based Repayment (IBR) – This plan reduces your monthly payment amount if you have a partial financial hardship. It’s also an option for borrowers who have been unemployed or working in an eligible public service job. You must have a partial financial hardship in order to be eligible for this plan; however there are many other factors that can increase or decrease how much you pay each month such as whether or not your spouse has any income or if they’re helping with your bills then some of their income may be applied towards those expenses instead of yours when calculating what percentage of disposable income should go toward paying back student loans each month because if someone else has more money coming in from their job than another person does then it would make sense for them to pay more towards their student loans instead since those payments are considered discretionary income—meaning it’s extra money these borrowers could easily afford without any issues whatsoever so anyone who doesn’t believe they could afford taking out large amounts without having access to other sources besides just one paycheck per week needs proof before making such claims otherwise people will just ignore them altogether while also ignoring all advice given by others too!

IBR is one of three income-driven repayment plans that reduce your monthly payment amount if you have a partial financial hardship

The Income-Based Repayment (IBR) is one of three income-driven repayment plans that reduce your monthly payment amount if you have a partial financial hardship. IBR can also extend the number of years you take to pay back your loans up to 25 years, depending on when you first took out your loan and what type it is. To qualify for IBR, your loan servicer must determine that at least one of these two things is true:

• Your annual discretionary income is less than 15 percent of your total debt or $20,000 (whichever amount is lower), or
• Your monthly payment would be more than what’s affordable based on what you earn while enrolled in an eligible program.

If your payments don’t cover the interest due on your loans, they will be capitalized and added to your total loan balance. As a result, you could end up paying more over time.

If your payments don’t cover the interest due on your loans, they will be capitalized and added to your total loan balance. As a result, you could end up paying more over time.

Interest is capitalized when it is not paid by the end of the month. For example, let’s say that in May you received $3,000 in financial aid and took out a loan worth $1,500. In June, instead of making all of this month’s payments at once as expected (so that all interest that accrues during one month would be paid off), suppose only $1,000 was paid in full while $500 was left outstanding until July 1st has passed (when it would have been automatically capitalized). This means that because we did not pay off all interest accrued during one month before moving onto another payment period—which is what happens when we make our payments on time—we now have an additional $50 owed on top of our original loan balance:

IBR can extend the number of years you take to pay back your loans up to 25 years. If you still have a remaining balance after 25 years, any forgiven amount may be taxable income.

Under this repayment plan, the payment amount is adjusted annually and is based on your income. The amount you have to pay back each month depends on whether or not you also qualify for an interest subsidy.

If you don’t qualify for an interest subsidy, you will be responsible to pay a percentage of your family’s discretionary income each month toward your student loan debt (up to 10% of total discretionary income). If your family’s discretionary income exceeds $50,000 per year, then no payments are required until the total balance reaches $50,000. After that point, full monthly payments must be made until the balance is paid off in full.

If you do qualify for an interest subsidy, then payments may be lower than what would normally be expected under IBR plans without subsidies — this is because some of the money goes towards reducing unpaid interest instead of paying off new principal balances every year like with other IBR plans without subsidies.

Your monthly IBR payment amount is the lesser of either 20% of your discretionary income or the amount of the fixed 10 year Standard Repayment plan amount.

Your monthly IBR payment amount is the lesser of either 20% of your discretionary income or the amount of the fixed 10 year Standard Repayment plan amount.

Discretionary income is defined as your adjusted gross income minus 150% of the poverty line for your family size. For example, if you are single and have no children, then your discretionary income would be $1,225 (the poverty line for a single person with no dependents). If you have 2 children and make $20,000 per year in adjusted gross income (AGI), then your discretionary income would be $1175 ($20,000 – ($20K x 150%)). This calculator will tell you what this number should be for whatever situation applies to you.
