Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE) Plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nUnder the REPAYE plan, your monthly payment is calculated at 10% of your discretionary income. However, there is no cap on the monthly amount, and both your and your spouse&#8217;s income are considered, regardless of tax filing status.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Income-Contingent_Repayment_ICR_Plan\"><\/span>4. Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) Plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nThe ICR plan calculates your payment as the lesser of 20% of your discretionary income or what you would pay on a fixed 12-year repayment plan.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Income-Sensitive_Repayment_ISR_Plan\"><\/span>5.

The resulting amount determines your monthly payment amount.<\/p>\n<p>Income-driven repayment plans generally follow the formula:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monthly_payment_Discretionary_income_%C3%97_Income_percentage_factor\"><\/span>Monthly payment = Discretionary income \u00d7 Income percentage factor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The &#8220;income percentage factor&#8221; is determined by the specific income-driven plan you choose. For instance, if you opt for the IBR plan, the factor could be 10% or 15% depending on when your loans were taken out. The discretionary income threshold is also an important component in calculating income-driven repayments.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Can_I_change_my_income-driven_repayment_plan\"><\/span>1.
