*All loans have a minimum monthly payment of $50.
**The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is designed to help consumers understand the relative cost of a loan and reflects the loan’s interest rate, timing of payments, and deferment period assumption. The lowest rates are only available to the most creditworthy applicants. Maximum deferment is 5 years. All payment information provided by this calculator is an estimate only. All monthly payment figures, loan balances, and total cost figures are estimates based on data you provided on the data input screens. Your actual loan payments and estimated total payment may vary based on the type of loan, interest rate, loan term, and your repayment habits.
