Click Compare Plans, and you instantly see monthly payments for Standard, SAVE, IBR, PAYE, and ICR. The SAVE plan is often the lowest at just 41 dollars a month for a 35 thousand dollar balance.

In this example, 48 payments are complete, with 72 remaining, about 6 years away. After clicking Calculate, you see your monthly payment on the SAVE plan is just 82 dollars, and a full 60 thousand dollars would be forgiven tax-free. The bar chart compares monthly costs across all eligible plans."
