Student loan borrowers see lifetime interest
This bill would require your loan servicer or school to show the total interest you would pay over the life of your federal student loans. The number would be based on the standard repayment plan that applies to your total federal loan balance. It would add up interest across all your federal loans into one total. This is for transparency only and would not change your payments or eligibility.
