The rate is locked in for loans disbursed during a particular time period, and every borrower who gets that type of loan will pay the same rate regardless of their financial situation.<\/p>\n<p>Private lenders take into account broader economic factors, including the Federal Reserve overnight bank funding rate, which is the rate banks pay to borrow from one another. Based on these factors and other indexes, they set minimum and maximum rates. The actual rate a borrower is offered within that range is determined by personal data, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Credit score:<\/b> Borrowers with higher scores are viewed as less risky and typically qualify for lower rates.<\/li>\n<li><b>Debt-to-income ratio:<\/b> This compares your monthly debt payments with your earnings. Borrowers with less debt relative to their income are generally viewed as a lower risk and can be offered better rates<\/li>\n<li><b>Fixed- or variable-rate loans:<\/b> Variable-rate loans have interest rates that fluctuate over time based on a financial index. They&#8217;re often seen as less of a risk for lenders, so the starting rate on a variable-rate loan may be lower. But the risk is higher for borrowers, who could see their rates and payments rise. Fixed rates never change over the life of the loan, and lenders may not earn as much from them as variable rates.<\/li>\n<li><b>Loan term:<\/b> A longer loan term will generally come with higher rates, as a lender takes on more risk when offering funding over a lengthy period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"best-interest\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to get the best student loan interest rate<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re borrowing to fund your degree and want to pay the lowest rates possible, these strategies could help:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Shop around among multiple lenders.<\/b> Every lender will offer you a different deal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/best-private-student-loans\/\">Compare your private loan options<\/a> to see which can offer the best terms.<\/li>\n<li><b>Improve your credit score.<\/b> Better credit generally means a better rate. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/personal-finance\/improve-credit-score\/\">improve your credit score<\/a> by paying your bills on time and paying down existing debt.<\/li>\n<li><b>Lower your debt-to-income ratio.<\/b> Pay off what you owe so you have less outstanding debt and seem like a safer bet to lenders.<\/li>\n<li><b>Consider a cosigner.<\/b> A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/cosigner-explained\/\">student loan cosigner<\/a> is someone with good credit who agrees to share responsibility for your debt. If a parent or other loved one will agree to cosign your debt, you can likely lock in a better rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"faq\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>What is a high student loan interest rate?<\/h3>\n<p>What constitutes a high interest rate depends on your financial situation, loan details, and greater economic conditions. Compare the rate you\u2019ve been offered with the averages listed above to see where you land.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/calculators\/student-loan-calculator\/\">student loan interest calculator<\/a> to estimate just how much money that rate will cost you over the life of your loan.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I compare student loan interest rates?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s often helpful to look at the annual percentage rate (APR) rather than the interest rate. A loan\u2019s APR takes into account all costs of borrowing \u2014 including fees \u2014 while the interest rate just looks at the interest charged.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also want to be sure you&#8217;re comparing apples-to-apples. Specifically, fixed and variable rates work differently.<\/p>\n<p>With a fixed-rate loan, your rate and payment will never change, so you&#8217;ll know total borrowing costs upfront. With a variable-rate loan, your rate is tied to a financial index and your loan could become more or less expensive over time. That means your monthly payments and total borrowing costs will vary based on how rates change during your repayment period.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you ask for a lower interest rate on student loans?<\/h3>\n<p>You typically can\u2019t negotiate a lower student loan interest rate. The rate on federal student loans is set by Congress each year and is based on loan type. The rate you&#8217;re offered from a private student loan lender is determined by your financial credentials.<\/p>\n<p>However, you may be able to reduce your rate on private loans by applying with a cosigner or shopping around to find a lender offering better loan terms. You might also find creative ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/refinance-student-loans\/lower-interest-rate-student-loans\/\">lower your student loan interest rate<\/a> by taking advantage of things like rate discounts.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I lower my student loan interest rate?<\/h3>\n<p>You may be able to reduce your student loan interest rate by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/refinance-student-loans\">refinancing your loans<\/a>. However, you can only refinance with a private student loan lender and will need to shop around to see if you can qualify for a lower rate than you\u2019re currently paying.<\/p>\n<p>Note that refinancing federal student loans comes with added risk, as doing so permanently disqualifies you from federal benefits like forgiveness opportunities, income-driven repayment plans, and more flexible deferment and forbearance.<\/p>\n<h3>How will student loan rates change in 2024?<\/h3>\n<p>No one knows exactly how student loan rates will change over time. However, the Federal Reserve is expected to continue raising interest rates throughout 2023. This could result in a higher rate to borrow student loans over the next year or more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"basic-box\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E2E4E6;\"><div class=\"basic-box__inside\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><strong>Compare student loan rates from top lenders<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list--iconArrow accent--isGreen\">\n<li>Multiple lenders compete to get you the best rate<\/li>\n<li>Get actual rates, not estimated ones<\/li>\n<li>Finance almost any degree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-warning\" href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/student-loans\">See Your Rates<\/a><br \/>\n<small>Checking rates will not affect your credit<\/small><\/p>\n<p><!-- TrustBox widget - Micro Combo --><\/p>\n<div class=\"trustpilot-widget\" data-locale=\"en-US\" data-template-id=\"5419b6ffb0d04a076446a9af\" data-businessunit-id=\"5536ec090000ff00057eebe7\" data-style-height=\"20px\" data-style-width=\"100%\" data-theme=\"light\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/review\/www.credible.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trustpilot<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- End TrustBox widget --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/author\/matt-carter\/\">Matt Carter<\/a> has contributed to the reporting of this article.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While interest-free loans for college exist, they\u2019re rare and highly competitive.
