Student Loans and Grace Periods
Many federal and private student loans include a grace period after leaving school. During grace, payments are often not required, but interest may still accrue and be added to the balance before standard repayment begins.
How This Calculator Models Grace
- Interest accrues monthly on the outstanding balance during the grace period.
- Accrued interest is capitalized into the balance when repayment starts.
- Monthly payment is computed on the post-grace balance over the repayment term you enter.
- Total interest includes both grace-period accrual and repayment-period interest.
