常见问题
What is the average student loan debt?
The average student loan debt for bachelor's degree graduates is approximately $30,000-$35,000. Graduate and professional degree holders may owe $80,000-$200,000 or more.
Should I refinance my student loans?
Refinancing makes sense if you can get a significantly lower interest rate and have stable income. However, refinancing federal loans into private loans means losing access to income-driven repayment plans and loan forgiveness programs.
Is student loan interest tax deductible?
You can deduct up to $2,500 in student loan interest per year if your income is below certain thresholds. This deduction is available even if you do not itemize.
