/**
 * ICR Plan Calculator (Income-Contingent Repayment)
 *
 * Key rules:
 * - Payment is the LESSER of:
 *   a) 20% of discretionary income (AGI - 100% of poverty guideline)
 *   b) Fixed 12-year payment adjusted by income percentage factor
 * - 25-year forgiveness (300 months)
 * - Only IDR plan available for Parent PLUS (after consolidation)
 * - Interest capitalizes if payment doesn't cover it
 * - No payment cap relative to Standard plan
