Calculate your debt! There are plenty of calculators available beyond these.

If you can’t find the one you want or don’t think it exists contact Sean Golan the Student Debt Alert Field Organizer.

IBR Calculator

If you have Federal Student Loans you may qualify for an Income Based Repayment in which your monthly payment is based on how much money you make and not how much you owe.

Direct Stafford Loan Calculator

If you have a Stafford loan this calculator can show you how much you will pay per month and over all depending on which payment plan you choose. Standard repayment is a 10 year plan, Extended it a 25 year plan, and Graduated is a 10 plan that starts payments low and increases the size of the monthly payment quicker over time (the idea being that as you earn more you’ll be able to pay more as you in the work force for longer via raises, better jobs etc.).
