Student Loan Refinance Calculator
What refinancing saves, and what federal protections you give up to get it.
How this number is built
Doing it by hand
Step 1
Separate federal from private balances; only private loans refinance without losing protections.
Step 2
Get a rate quote with a soft credit check before committing to an application.
Step 3
Compare total repayment, not just the monthly payment, since terms usually change.
Step 4
If forgiveness or income-driven repayment is plausible, model that before refinancing anything federal.
What people ask next
Can I refinance only my private loans?
Yes, and that is frequently the right answer — you capture the rate saving without surrendering federal protections.
Does refinancing reset anything?
It creates a new loan with a new term, which can raise total interest even at a lower rate if the term extends.
