MedLoanIQ helps medical residents and new attendings compare IBR vs RAP repayment plans, optimize PSLF strategy, and find the path that saves the most money.
Get Started Free See PlansFederal student loan repayment is genuinely complex for physicians. Your income jumps 4–5× at graduation, PSLF has a 10-year qualifying window, and the wrong plan choice can cost $50,000–$150,000. MedLoanIQ runs the math so you don't have to guess.
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, and find the break-even point for your household.
See exactly how consolidating pre-2014 loans would change your eligibility, payments, and forgiveness timeline.
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 the tool.
Not financial or legal advice. MedLoanIQ is a modeling and educational tool. It does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice. The calculations are estimates based on the inputs you provide and publicly available repayment formulas.
Verify with your servicer. Your actual loan terms, payment amounts, and PSLF eligibility must be confirmed with your loan servicer (MOHELA or equivalent). Your 10-year standard payment cap may differ from what this tool calculates — always verify your exact cap directly.
Rules change. Federal student loan repayment programs are subject to legislative and regulatory changes. The RAP program, IBR rates, and PSLF rules were accurate as of early 2026 but may change. Consult a qualified financial advisor for decisions involving large sums.
Tax implications. Filing jointly vs. separately has significant tax consequences beyond what this tool models. Always consult a CPA or tax advisor before changing your filing status.
