What is a deferred payment loan?

A deferred payment loan allows the borrower to postpone making monthly payments for a specified period (such as during college, medical residency, or disaster relief).

What does interest capitalization mean?

Interest capitalization occurs when unpaid accrued interest during deferment is added to the original loan balance, causing future interest to accrue on top of unpaid interest.

What is the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized deferment?

On subsidized loans (e.g. Direct Subsidized Federal Loans), the government pays the interest during deferment. On unsubsidized loans, interest accrues and capitalizes.

Can you provide a worked calculation for a $40,000 loan deferred for 24 months?

On a $40,000 loan at 6.8% APR deferred for 24 months: $5,768 in interest accrues and capitalizes, increasing the starting principal to $45,768. Repaying over 10 years requires $526.70/mo, totaling $63,204 in lifetime payments.

How can borrowers avoid interest capitalization?

Making interest-only payments during the deferment period prevents interest from adding to principal, keeping your starting loan balance at the original amount.

Is my deferred loan evaluation private on ToolboxDock?

Yes. All loan modeling runs 100% locally in your web browser memory with zero tracking.

Do deferred loans negatively impact credit scores?

An authorized deferment does not hurt credit scores as long as the lender reports the account status as 'in deferment' rather than 'delinquent'.

Deferred Loan Capitalization & Repayment Formula

P_{\text{cap}} = P_0 \left(1 + \frac{r}{12}\right)^{n_{\text{def}}}, \quad M_{\text{repay}} = P_{\text{cap}} \left[ \frac{\frac{r}{12}\left(1+\frac{r}{12}\right)^{n_{\text{repay}}}}{\left(1+\frac{r}{12}\right)^{n_{\text{repay}}} - 1} \right]

Compounds unpaid interest onto original principal during the deferment period (capitalization), then calculates amortized monthly payments over the active repayment horizon.
