Financial Literacy

Loan Simulator helps you calculate student loan payments and choose a loan repayment option that best meets your needs and goals. You can also use it to decide whether to consolidate your student loans.

This Loan Payment Calculator computes an estimate of the size of your monthly loan payments and the annual salary required to manage them without too much financial difficulty. This loan calculator can be used with Federal education loans (Stafford, Perkins and PLUS) and most private student loans. (The loan calculator can be used to calculate student loan payments, auto loans or to calculate your mortgage payments.)

No need to be a money expert—the tips and activities here can help your children’s money skills, habits, and attitudes grow.
