What is the average monthly student loan payment? I’m interested in finding out what others are paying each month. Additionally, I’d love to hear how the city you live and work in affects the affordability of these payments. Thanks for your insights!

The average monthly student loan repayment can vary significantly based on factors like the total amount borrowed, interest rates, and repayment plans. As of 2023, many borrowers may pay around $200 to $400 a month, but that can go higher depending on individual circumstances—like the type of degree and duration of the repayment plan.
Living in certain cities can definitely affect how manageable those payments feel. For example, in areas with a higher cost of living, like New York or San Francisco, the monthly payment may feel more burdensome compared to places with a lower cost of living. It can be helpful to take into account salary expectations in your field when considering how your location impacts student loan repayment.
If you’re comfortable sharing, it would be interesting to hear what you’re currently paying and where you live, as that might provide more context for others!
