Pay off your student loan early, or invest the extra? See the real numbers
Three strategies simulated month by month on your own loan, with the exact return at which investing and paying down tie.
Everyone has an opinion on paying off debt versus investing, and none of them use your rate or your tax situation
You are not sure whether extra payments are smart or whether you are giving up federal protections for nothing
You want a number, not a rule of thumb: what does each choice leave you with in ten years?
A guided form โ your income, your debts, your specific decision. Takes a few minutes.
The same engine behind our free calculators, extended with sensitivity checks and hidden costs most tools skip.
Not a wall of numbers to interpret yourself โ a clear take, with the full reasoning behind it.
Not a black box โ here's exactly what happens to your numbers, stage by stage.
You describe the real decision โ this loan, this property, this offer โ with the actual numbers, not a generic profile.
Your inputs become one clear picture of where you stand today, before any recommendation is made.
The same calculation engine behind our free calculators โ reducing-balance amortization, real compounding, no shortcuts โ run against your exact numbers.
One direct verdict, not a wall of figures to interpret yourself.
Why โ in plain language, tied to your specific numbers, not a canned explanation that would read the same for anyone.
What if the assumption is more conservative? We test that before you have to find out the hard way.
The specific things that could change this outcome, stated plainly โ not buried in fine print at the bottom.
Not just a number โ dated, sequenced steps for what to actually do next.
Everything above, laid out in one PDF โ yours to keep, re-check, or hand to an advisor.
Three strategies side by side: minimum and invest, extra to the loan, or a split
Interest paid, payoff date and net worth at the end of the loan for each
The break-even investment return, and how the winner changes with the market
How the student loan interest deduction and tax on gains change the answer
Checks for the things that come first: emergency fund, employer match and forgiveness programs
A short action plan with the exact monthly amounts

How is this different from your free calculators?
The free calculators give you one number for one input set. This report brings everything together โ sensitivity checks across more than one scenario, every hidden cost most people forget, and a direct verdict โ into one document you can keep, share, or hand to whoever else is part of the decision.
What if I don't like the verdict?
The verdict is a direct read of the numbers you provide โ we don't soften it either way. If your numbers say "wait" or "keep loans separate," that's what the report will say, because a report that only ever tells you what you want to hear isn't worth paying for.
Is my financial data safe?
Your inputs are used only to generate your report. We don't sell your data, and we don't earn any commission based on what the report recommends โ see our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
What if my numbers change after I buy?
The report is a snapshot based on what you entered โ if your numbers meaningfully change later, you can run the wizard again with updated figures. There's no subscription here, just a one-time report for the decision in front of you right now.
