About this tool

No agenda. Just the math.

We built a free, transparent calculator for medical students, residents, and attendings making six-figure financial decisions. Not a refi ad in disguise.

Why this exists

Every other calculator was selling something.

Every calculator we found was either too generic or buried inside a site trying to sell you a refinancing product. So we built one that wasn’t.

We’re two premed students who became obsessed with the medical school debt problem after seeing how little clarity existed for doctors making six-figure financial decisions. We built this tool because every calculator we found was either too generic or buried inside a site trying to sell you a refinancing product.

Every number here traces to a published source. We have no affiliate links, no lender partnerships, and no upsells. This tool has no agenda — it’s just the math.

Scope

What this is. And what it isn’t.

Setting expectations up front is the cheapest way to earn trust. Here’s the honest scope of what this tool does and the lines we deliberately don’t cross.

What this is

  • A medical-debt simulator

    PSLF, IDR, refinance, and aggressive payoff modeled with real federal mechanics.

  • Sourced from public datasets

    AAMC graduation surveys, MGMA + Medscape compensation reports, studentaid.gov rules.

  • Free, forever

    No paywall, no premium tier, no upsell screen blocking your results.

What it isn’t

  • A refi-affiliate funnel

    No commissions, no lead-gen, no sponsored "recommended lender" list at the bottom.

  • Personal financial advice

    It models your numbers — for a real plan, take the output to a fiduciary CFP or CPA.

  • Backed by a loan servicer

    Not affiliated with AAMC, MGMA, Medscape, the Department of Education, or any lender.

Your data never leaves your device.

Sources, in plain sight

Where the numbers come from.

Every calculator default is triangulated from one of these public datasets. If a source updates, we update.
