Interpretation of Results

Model Methodology

Investment growth: Investment growth is estimated using the annualized compound interest.

Student loan interest: Student loan interest is estimated using a simplified simple daily interest formula: current principal balance × annual interest rate ÷ 365.25 × number of days in the month.

Payment application: Monthly student loan payments are applied to accrued interest first, then to principal. If the redirect option is selected, the model assumes the former monthly student loan payment is redirected into investments after payoff.

This calculator does not account for taxes, inflation, market volatility, refinancing, loan forgiveness, income-driven repayment plans, changing interest rates, capitalization events, loan subsidies, different loan groups, or individual financial circumstances.
