What is IBR?
The term “Income-Based Repayment” is often misused as a catchall for the various IDR programs available today.
But IBR is just one of the four IDR plans offered by the Department of Education. read more..
What is an IDR
An income-driven repayment (IDR) plan is a repayment plan for people with federal loans created to make your monthly loan payments more affordable. Income-driven repayment plans don’t cover private loans. read more..
How IDR plans lower your monthly costs
The 10-year standard repayment schedule is the default for student loan borrowers, but it’s not always affordable.
High student loan balances will mean high monthly payments, which can be challenging to keep up with. Lower incomes relative to debt can also make it a struggle to cover monthly payments under the Standard Repayment Plan.
In such situations, IDR plans can be just the break you need. Instead of setting payments according to your student loan balance, the amount due each month is tied to your income. According to Federal Student Aid, such a plan is intended to make your payments affordable while taking income and family size into account.
Specifically, IDR plans set payments at a percentage of your discretionary income. For example, IBR sets payments at 10% to 15% of your discretionary monthly income, depending on when your loans were disbursed.
Your discretionary income is calculated by finding the difference between your adjusted gross income and 150 percent of the annual poverty line for a family of your size and in your state. This means your student loan payments are individualized to match your specific income, costs of living, and family size under IDR plans.
