What is effective interest rate and how do I calculate it for SAVE Plan?


Your loan interest rate doesn't change. However, if some interest is waived, you may have a lower effective interest rate on your repayment plan.

For example, if your loan balance is $250,000, your interest rate is 7% and your monthly payment is $100, your effective interest rate (for that year) would be 100*12/250000=0.48%, which is lower than 7%. This is because all interest above your payment amount is waived or subsidized on the SAVE plan.
