The income - based
application now includes four different income - driven repayment plans: REPAYE, PAYE, and
IBR (which itself is effectively two plans, generally offering a 10 % payment rate and 20
year repayment period for new borrowers since July 2014, and a 15 % payment rate and 25
year repayment period for less recent borrowers), as well as the older and generally less favorable ICR plan.
