  • This video explains the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized student loans. "Subsidized" means that the U.S. government pays the interest that accrues while the student is attending school at least half-time, in a grace period, or in deferment. Unsubsidized begin incurring interest immediately, and the interest is added to the loan's balance at the end of each period assuming the student does not pay the interest. The video provides an example to illustrate how this process (known as interest capitalization) works with an unsubsidized loan.

    Does the department of education still pay interest on the subsidized loan even if you don’t go to college in the summer ?

  • @kellyxiong1304
    @kellyxiong1304 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi there, So that $646.52 interest rate would be the most smart choice to pay it all in full after graduating then pay the 3,000 either in full or monthly? but after paying the interest rate will the original borrowed money stop increasing even after paying off the interest rate? or it will still continue to increase 5% each time?

    So the interest on a student loan is applied on the principle Yearly and not monthly?
    So what happens if you pay off a subsidized loan before you are out of school? There is no interest payments?
    For a subsidized loan, what if a person pays off part of the loan while in school? Does the interest applied yearly then apply to the remaining amount instead of the original amount?
    unsubsidized loans accrue interest on the remaining amount yearly?

    • @christophermartinez5160
      @christophermartinez5160 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’re right somewhat. The loan does not “compound” daily. Interest is accrued daily meaning it is charged daily( = principal balance x (interest rate/ 365)). Interest begins to “compound” or capitalize after grace period of graduating or when you fall below hall-time credit hours.

    Where you go to college is meaningless to happy or success in life according to every study ever. Go to a college where all you’d ever need are subsidized loan. The best way is to have your parents put 20K in a index like TQQQ when you start college. You take out the subsidized loans to live on every year. Don’t touch the 20K over 4 or 5 years. Then you’ll have enough when you graduate debt free. 👍😎

      Good advice. except for the $20k from parents part. Not everyone comes from a well off or even middle class family. My parents were financially unable to provide anything for my education. i dont blame them, they were never educated themselves and worked very hard being paid low wages trying to provide for me and my siblings.
      i was able to get 2 bachelor degrees (double major) and masters from a combination of working while going to school, scholarships and subsidized loans. Those 3 degrees only cost me

    The government hasn't helped students this year & it's so upsetting because we are in the middle of a pandemic & most of us aren't making money like we did in 2019. So they are using 2019 taxes to determine if we can pay for college. Besides that, College students couldn't get stimulus check. They truly want us to fail, when we are supposed to be the future.

    With subsidized student loan, after you graduate and you pay the 3,000 in full. I am done with that payment right? And with unsubsidized student loan, if I also pay in full, i just have to pay $3646.52 and im good right?

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you take out a subsidized loan, then you will not be responsible for any interest the loan accrued while you were in college. Thus, if you pay a subsidized loan as soon as you graduate from college, you will pay no interest on the subsidized loan

      If money is an issue then you should seriously consider community college. I obtained an associate's degree from a community college at a very low cost and then was able to transfer to a 4-year university to pursue the degree I wanted. Student loans should be minimized if at all possible

  • @maddyk6715
    @maddyk6715 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    What about after the deferment period of 6 months for unsubsidized, are you still gaining interest even when you are making payments?

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unsubsidized loans will start incurring interest immediately when you receive them, and the interest will continue until the loan is paid off. If the loan is in deferment for 6 months, this means that you aren't required to make payments for 6 months but the loan will still be incurring interest. If you start making payments early, this will decrease your principal. So essentially, the amount you pay towards interest will decrease if you make early payments, but you will still be incurring interest.

    This is not a good video. It does not represent the way the loans interest is calculated. Interest is accrued daily meaning it is charged daily( = principal balance x (interest rate/ 365)). Interest begins to “compound” or capitalize after grace period of graduating or when you fall below hall-time credit hours.

    • @johnerocket
      @johnerocket 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Daily (1/365) = principal balance * (interest rate/365)
      Yearly (365) = principal balance * (interest rate)
      There is no difference between the way you explained it and how the man in the video explained it. Therefore, this argument is void.

    The higher the loan amount, the tougher it will get for an international student, because the bank / lending officer will find it riskier to lend to someone who (a) does not have a high income and (b) won’t stay in the country for the duration of the loan,visit-shorttermcredits.com/personal-loans-for-bad-credit.php
