Average student loan balance: $29,567

Average student loan interest rate: 6.27%

Average student loan term: 10.3 years

The average monthly payment for loans taken out by students in Arkansas was $398. This amount is slightly higher than the state average of $398 because there are fewer colleges and universities in Arkansas than there are in other states. As a result, residents can’t take advantage of the lower tuition costs found at large research institutions such as Harvard or MIT that might help them to reduce their overall debt burden once they graduate.

California

California, with an average student loan payment of $541 and an average balance of $27,823, boasts the most expensive student loans in the country. California ranks second-to-last for interest rates (with an average rate of 6.6%), but ninth from last when it comes to term length (10 years).

Connecticut

Connecticut is the second-smallest state in the nation, but it’s also home to one of the smallest average monthly student loan payments. On average, Connecticut borrowers pay $297 per month on their student loans. That’s less than half of what we see in other states such as New York or California where borrowers are paying upwards of $500 per month for their loans. In fact, only three states have lower average monthly student loan payments: Nebraska at $280 per month; Minnesota at $290 per month; and South Dakota at $300 per month.

It should come as no surprise that Connecticut has one of the lowest average student loan balances in the country at just over $24,000—less than half that which we see across most states (which typically fall between $40k-$50k). New Hampshire has an even smaller balance with an average of just under 22k while Maine rounds out our list with only 19k on average!

Delaware

In Delaware, the average monthly student loan payment is $153. The state’s average student loan debt is $30,731.

District of Columbia

The District of Columbia, home to the national capital and many government agencies, ranks No. 1 in average student loan payment ($289).

The average monthly student loan payment across all 50 states is $279.

Florida

Florida, the state with the third highest average student loan payment, and one of the top destinations for students to study in America (ranking in the top five states for both public and private universities), has an average student loan balance of $35,602. This is higher than any other state in America by almost $4,000. However, it’s important to note that this high number is largely due to out-of-state students who may not have opted for Florida’s low cost of living when choosing where they want to live or attend school.

Florida also has a fairly high percentage of borrowers with more than $100K in debt—around 11% compared to just over 8% nationally—and a relatively small chunk (2%) paying off less than $10K on their loans per year; meanwhile they have slightly lower amounts paid toward loans between $50K-$100K range as well as balances between $50K-$100K range compared to other states on average

Georgia

• Georgia

Average student debt: $25,419.00

Average interest rate: 4.54%

Average term: 10 years

Average balance: $25,419.00

Monthly payment amount: $386.00

Hawaii

Hawaii is the place to be, according to a recent study. It’s home to the highest average student loan payment in America.

The typical borrower in Hawaii pays off $852 more every month than their peers elsewhere in the country. That’s an extra $10,000 per year!

Why do students there need so much help paying back their loans? It could be because they owe on average nearly $33,000—more than any other state except New Hampshire and Vermont. The cost of living is also high in Hawaii (the median home price is over $600K), so we can only imagine how much it costs for renters—they must be raking up some serious debt every month too!

Illinois

There are many factors that go into determining how much your monthly student loan payment will be. The first thing you’ll want to consider is how your school is going to charge you for tuition and fees. Some schools are more expensive than others and require a higher down payment on average; some schools have lower interest rates and therefore require less money upfront.

It’s also important to understand what type of loans you might be eligible for, which can vary based on several different factors including the institution where you plan on attending college or trade school, whether or not there are other types of financial aid available through private lenders, etcetera.
