How long do you have to pay off student loans?

Answer by  Jon65 (787)

It depends on the repayment plan selected and amount of debt you have. Standard student loans are 120 months or 10 years from graduation. You can elect a shorter repayment schedule, than 10 years, if you want to save money on interest. With larger loans, above $30,000, you may work out repayment plan with your lender for 25 years.
