While payments are paused, interest usually keeps accruing and is added to the balance (capitalized). Enter the balance, rate and deferment length to see the new balance.

Formula

Balance after = balance × (1 + r)months.

FAQ

Subsidized loans differ?

Some subsidized loans pause interest; this assumes it accrues.

Cost of deferring?

You pay interest on interest later — often worth avoiding if you can.
