MedLoanIQ is an educational tool for borrowers navigating IBR, RAP, and PSLF. It walks through how the plans work, how they compare under different income and filing scenarios, and what the tradeoffs look like over your full repayment window.
See PlansFederal student loan repayment is genuinely complex, especially for borrowers whose income will rise steeply over the first few years of their careers. Recent changes to the federal repayment landscape — the introduction of RAP, the pending sunset of PAYE, and the fact that switching from IBR to RAP is irreversible — have made the choice harder, not easier. MedLoanIQ is an educational tool that runs the math across different scenarios so you can see how the plans compare for your situation. It is particularly useful for graduating professional students (dentists, veterinarians, lawyers, physicians, and others) with substantial federal loan balances, borrowers pursuing or considering PSLF, and married borrowers weighing joint vs. separate tax filing year by year.
Side-by-side monthly payment, total cost, and loan balance projections for both plans across your full PSLF window.
Find your optimal switch year — when to move from RAP to IBR to minimize payments while maximizing forgiveness.
Model the impact of filing jointly vs. separately on your payments. Includes an embedded MFJ vs MFS tax comparison tool to calculate your actual tax cost.
See exactly how consolidating your loans would change your interest rate, payments, and total cost to forgiveness.
Year-by-year payment schedules, balance curves, and cumulative cost graphs — all exportable for your own planning.
Ask plain-English questions about your results. Claude explains the tradeoffs, flags unusual patterns, and helps you understand what matters.

Please read and acknowledge the following before using MedLoanIQ.
MedLoanIQ is software, not advice. MedLoanIQ models student loan repayment scenarios. It does not provide financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. Using MedLoanIQ does not create any advisory relationship. You are the decision-maker.
The Tool's output may be wrong. Calculations, comparisons, and recommendations shown by the Tool are estimates based on the inputs you provide, publicly available formulas, and assumptions about a federal loan program landscape that changes. They may contain errors. They may not reflect your specific loan terms, current rules, or facts particular to your situation.
AI responses may be wrong. If you use the AI features, responses are generated by a language model and may contain factual errors, outdated information, or misapplied rules. AI responses are not reviewed by a professional. Treat them as one input to your thinking, never as instructions.
Do not rely on MedLoanIQ alone for decisions. Student loan choices — plan selection, filing status, consolidation, PSLF strategy — can have six-figure consequences and are often hard to reverse. Before acting, independently verify your assumptions with your loan servicer and other authoritative sources. You are responsible for your decisions and their outcomes.
