Candidly helps users select and enroll in the optimal repayment plan, saving those who qualify an average of $358 per month. Based on users who received plan assessments for income-driven repayment programs between Jan 2020 and April 2022.
Between July 2019 through May 2022, users sent an average of $45 in extra payments to their loans through gamified repayment and auto-payment tools. Calculation assumes these contributions are made on a loan with a balance of $34,000 and 6% interest rate over a 17-year term, consecutively. These loan averages are provided by educationdata.org as of July 2021. Educationdata.org compiles data from a number of sources including the Department of Education, National Student Loan Data System and Measure One.
