What is a student loan payoff calculator?
This calculator estimates student loan payoff timing from your current balance, APR, and monthly payment amount.

Monthly amortization simulation using loan balance, APR, and fixed payment
You can test extra-payment scenarios by increasing monthly payment and comparing results.

The calculator estimates months to payoff and total interest under this payment pace.
Even small extra principal payments can reduce total interest over long terms.
How to read your results
- Estimated months to payoff — Projected months to clear this loan at your current payment level.
- Estimated total interest — Modeled interest cost from now to payoff.
- Estimated total paid — Principal plus interest total over the payoff timeline.
Check servicer rules for how extra payments are applied to principal.
