Risk Calculator

​Here, we want to help you evaluate your borrowing capacity and provide you with some insights about your financial risk from student loans.

​

This is a more exhaustive calculator than what is on the Home page, and includes subsidized, unsubsidized, private loans, and personal debts, if any.

Student Loan

Note: We do not recommend using this page on a mobile device.

Typically, the amount of loan a borrower can acquire depends on the borrower's ability to repay the debt in a specified time and collateral, such as personal holdings, including the asset purchased with the borrowed fund. 

 

Federal Student loan doesn't work the same way. Students can borrow up to the maximum, an amount set by the government, without assessment of their circumstances. As a result, some students end up financing more than they can afford after their educational journey ends. 

​

Here, students and parents (and guardians) can evaluate their borrowing limit and get insights about financial from student loans.

 

The following information is required:

1. Academic Status

2. Loan term details (loan type, loan, amount, loan issue date, interest rate)  

3. Geographical area the student plans to live after graduation

4. Post-graduate job title and estimated corresponding salary**

​

​

*You do need to provide a loan amount. We recommend using the oldest loan issue date to represent all loans if student borrowed multiple loans.
