Information

Planning estimate

Government student loans generally remain excluded from discharge if bankruptcy occurs less than seven years after the borrower ceased to be a student. Court hardship relief can involve different rules.

This calculator is provided for information and planning estimates. For tax, benefit, legal, immigration or other official decisions, verify the rules that apply to your situation.
