how to calculate student loan debt it’s scary!!!
Student loans sting most 20 year olds into their adult life and beyond reducing the possibility of buying a house and living securely. Don’t get me wrong though, if you can get a student loan that generates a job and income of more than the loan in a few years you can pay it off nice and easily but if your on a low income with this amount of debt it can be a massive burden.
First see if there are any grants (free non repayment loans) and internships (earn while you learn)
Here’s an example schools don’t teach you!
Student loan £60k
Interest 2%
Loan term 20 years
Repayment every year = £60k + 2% = £61,200
Repayment over 20 years £60k plus £2,100 x 20 = £42,000 + £60k = £82k total repayment divided into 20 years is
Total capital & interest repayment is £4,100 per year x 20 years is £82k
That’s £341.66 per month for 20 years
If you can pay lump sums off asap this will reduce the interest liability and save you £2,100 interest a year accumulative.
Make the long term calculations, not just the short term
Good luck
