Income-based Loan Repayment Plan
By CourseAdvisor

If you're trying to manage student loan payments on a tight budget, you'll be glad to hear about a new federal program, the Income-based Repayment Plan, that goes into effect on July 1.

Calculated on a sliding scale linked to the federal poverty line, the IBR rate caps all eligible student loan repayments at 15% of monthly income, although for many students, loan payments may drop to less than 10% of monthly income, or nothing.
