Student loan repayment is right around the corner. The Biden Administration that a new student loan repayment plan called SAVE will be replacing REPAYE.
To help you understand how this new student loan repayment plan could affect your current situation, we have created our comprehensive SAVE student loan repayment calculator to simulate multiple plans and see which one works best for you.
SAVE Monthly Student Loan Payments
First things first, SAVE significantly reduces monthly student loan payments.
Therefore, many people that thought they were going to pay off their student loans fast or use another income driven repayment plan may be changing their game plan.
In the next section, I detail the changes that will be effecting monthly payments.
What A SAVE Calculator Should Include
SAVE is calculated based on your discretionary income. This new plan primarily targets how discretionary income is calculated.
The SAVE calculator you use should take into account all the information that is needed based on the new rules put out by the Biden administration.
This includes the latest 2023 federal poverty line numbers when calculating monthly payments, adjustments to AGI going from 125% to 225% of the poverty line, payments being 5% of your adjusted gross income for undergrad loans, and the ability to factor in filling separately vs jointly.
You should also be able to compare various plans such as PAYE vs IBR. FitBUX’s SAVE calculator allows you to do just that and incorporates all the proposed guidelines of the Biden Administration.
You can model different income driven repayment plans and standard plans including:
– New Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE) also referred to as SAVE
– Pay As You Earn (PAYE)
– Standard 10-Year repayment
– 25-Year/Old IBR
– Refinancing
