看看一笔利率为6.8%的20,000美元的10年期联邦贷款吧。如果每月的月还款总额是230美元,那么贷款期间支付的利息总额累计会达到7,600美元左右。如果每月多还款20美元,还款的年限就可以缩短到九年,整个贷款期间可以省掉900美元的利息。如果每月还款总额为400美元──可能也就是偿还汽车贷款的数目──五年就可以还清贷款,节省的利息会超过4,000美元。
Because loans are generally made for an academic year, grads might have several and at different interest rates. Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Edvisors.com, a student-marketing company, recommends paying off the loan with the highest interest rate first and notifying the servicer that the payment is an extra one, not an advance on the next payment.
由于贷款通常是以学年为单位发放的,毕业生们可能会有好几笔不同利率的贷款。学生营销公司Edvisors.com的出版人马克坎特罗威茨(Mark Kantrowitz)建议先还清利率最高的那一笔贷款,并通报贷款服务机构,这是针对利率最高那笔贷款,不是针对时间排序为下一笔的贷款。
In addition, paying through automatic debits from your bank account could reduce your interest rate by 0.25 percentage point, according to loan servicer Sallie Mae SLM +1.61% . Just make sure you have enough money in your account to cover the payments.
此外,据贷款服务机构学生贷款市场协会(Sallie Mae)介绍,通过你银行账户的借记卡自动还款可以让你的利率降低0.25个百分点。你只需确保自己的账户里有足够的钱支付还款就行了。
