How do I figure out how much I'll have to pay?
You can Use our loan simulator. Loan Simulator provides a comparison of estimated monthly payment amounts for all federal student loan repayment plans, including income-based plans.
Okay,  good. Now, regarding consolidation loans, is it the same for those Direct Consolidation or FEEL Consolidation loans?
Not quite. In those cases, the length of your repayment period will be determined depending on the amount of your total education loan indebtedness. That includes the amount of your consolidation loan and your other student loan debt.
