Frequently Asked Questions

Does paying extra on PAYE speed up forgiveness?

Does PAYE cap unpaid interest capitalization?

Yes, under PAYE, unpaid interest capitalization is capped at 10% of your original balance entering the plan.

Should extra funds go to PAYE or investments?

If seeking forgiveness, extra cash is generally better utilized in retirement savings or paying down higher-interest non-forgivable debt.

Can extra contributions be canceled?

Yes, extra voluntary payments can be modified or halted at any time without servicer penalties.
