student loan interest

Tuition borrowing charges

Student loan interest is the cost charged by lenders for borrowing money to finance education.

In the United States, this interest is often tax-deductible up to a certain amount, making it a common topic during tax season: I claimed the student loan interest deduction on my return.

The rate may be fixed or variable depending on the loan type.
