How Income-Based
Repayment Works

We’re not like the others

With many traditional fixed-rate or variable rate student loans, a student’s monthly payment does not change based on the borrower’s income. In other words, the student is expected to make the payment regardless of whether they are unemployed or have failed to secure a good-paying job. 

A safety net for you

Payments with IBR loans through Edly adjust based on the borrower’s income, and allow borrowers to apply for loan forbearance2 if they lose their job or make below $30,000 annually. Payments are recalculated annually based on an income-based percentage of the borrower’s current annual salary.
