Lender Comparison Calculator

Welcome to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship's Lender Comparison Calculator.  Selecting the right lender is an important decision.  You can save hundreds of dollars by choosing a lender with the lowest up front fees and greatest repayment incentives.  Use the calculator to compare fees, interest payments and the total loan repayment amount.  Prospective borrowers should also read and understand the lender's benefits and requirements.

Select Loan Type

The lender comparison defaults to the student Stafford loan.  Parent borrowers should select PLUS to view lender benefits related to the Parent PLUS federal loan type.
 

Stafford (Student)
PLUS (Parent)

Enter Loan Information

The calculator assumes a standard 10-year loan repayment and defaults to the new fixed interest rates for Stafford (6.8%) and PLUS (8.5%) loans.  It is also assumed, for the comparison, that the interest rate remains constant throughout the life of the loan.  New borrowers should estimate using the total or lifetime loan balance that they plan on securing while enrolled at YSU.
