Rule of Thumb Debt Calculator

[RationalOptimist]

Is there a rule of thumb for the monthly student debt payments when you finish residency?

Say - $X per month for every $100K in debt?

What about $250K in debt? $500K?

I hope I won't hit 500K, but my school is expensive. = (

Thanks a million, docs. I am nervous about this debt thing, but I really want to be a physician so I can help people - so I think it is worth it.

Depends on the interest rate and the repayment term of your loan.

Navigate your world wide web browser to the Google machine and type in "debt repayment calculator" and putz around with the numbers.
