How to Use the USPS Student Loan Calculator
Our **USPS student loan calculator** simplifies the process of understanding your loan repayment. Here’s how to get started:
- **Enter your loan amount, interest rate**, and repayment term.
- **Optionally add an extra monthly payment** to see how much faster you can pay off your debt.
- Click "Calculate" to get your monthly payment, total interest, and a clear timeline.
Formula Explanation
This tool uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate your monthly payment, which evenly spreads your payments across the loan term.
$M = P \times \frac{i(1+i)^n}{(1+i)^n-1}$
Extra payments are applied directly to the principal, reducing the overall interest you pay and shortening your loan duration significantly.
