SAVE - A New Income Driven Repayment Plan
A new Income Driven Repayment (IDR) plan is now available SAVE (Save A Valuable Education). SAVE is replacing REPAYE with those currently in REPAYE will automatically transition to SAVE. Here are some highlights of the SAVE plan:
Payment is 10% of Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) less an income exclusion
A 25-year repayment period
100% interest subsidy on any interest accrual
Married couples that file separately can exclude spouse's income from the student loan payment calculation
