❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How is student loan interest calculated?▼
Most student loans use standard amortization — same as any installment loan. Monthly payment stays constant; early payments are mostly interest, later payments are mostly principal. Use our calculator to see your exact breakdown.
Should I pay off student loans early?▼
Compare your loan interest rate to potential investment returns. If your loan is 7% and you could invest at 10%+, mathematically investing wins. However, guaranteed debt payoff provides certainty and peace of mind that markets cannot. Many graduates do a hybrid: pay extra on loans while still building an emergency fund and retirement savings.
