Determining A Financial Plan  
         
The payment calculator will allow you to minimize the overall cost of your Northeastern education.  
Using this calculator will allow you to determine the best way to minimize the cost of borrowing.  
         
By indicating your balance due (Step 1) and the amount you can afford to pay per month (Step 2),  
the calculator will determine the best distribution of your monthly payment using a combination of  
our interest free monthly payment plan and one of three loan options.  
         
Work through the steps below to determine the best combination of a monthly payment plan and  
borrowing.  Please note that all figures are estimates, and that your actual payments may vary.
