Loan balance, end of each year

Principal plus any unpaid interest. Monthly payments; interest at the weighted average rate.

Where each year's loan payments go

The part of each year's payments that covers interest versus the part that reduces the balance.

Annual income by bucket

How each year's income splits across needs, wants, loans and savings.

Future-self savings balance

Monthly contributions growing at the assumed annual return.

Year-by-year plan

Annual dollars for the scenario above. Green rows are years after the loans are paid off.

Model: monthly payments at a single weighted-average rate; income compounds evenly to the Year 10 multiple and keeps growing at that rate in longer plans. Savings return and tax rate are placeholder assumptions. For education and planning only, not financial advice.
