Understand What Repayment Might Look Like
Once you have an idea of what your income might be after graduation and the amount that you need to borrow in federal student loans, you'll want to determine your estimated monthly loan payment. Check out the Repayment Estimator at https://studentaid.gov/loan-simulator/.
Please note that you will need to repeat this process each time you receive a student loan to ensure that you are calculating the payments based on your accumulated total loan debt.
You'll want to make sure that you are able to live comfortably after paying your monthly student loan payment. You should try to keep your student loan payment at less than 8% of your monthly income.
