Common questions about Income Share Loans made available through Stride Funding
*The effective Income Share Percentage (“ISP”) on your Income Share Loan (“ISL”) is a fixed percentage of your monthly gross-income and will range between 1% and 15%, for a period of 60 months after the beginning of your payment term.
Monthly payments are required and will vary greatly in amount because they depend on your specific ISP and your reported monthly gross-income. Monthly repayment amount is based on your designated ISP and monthly gross-income, not an Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”); the APR you actually pay will be dependent on your actual ISP and gross-income for the entire duration of the loan repayment period. For example, assuming 21 months until graduation plus 3 months grace period, if you borrow $10,000.00 at an ISP of 15% (highest possible ISP), and you are earning $60,000.00 gross-income per year, you will be required to make 24 monthly payments of $750.00 for total monthly payments of $17,700.50. For this example, your total monthly payments would end after 24 months because you would have reached the Maximum Implied Annual Percentage Rate of 21% assuming that you have no deferrals or other pauses to your payments. You may repay more or less than the amount you received, depending on your specific circumstances. Your ISL has a maximum payment period (120 months) inclusive of any months where monthly payments are made as well as any months that are deferred months after you leave or graduate from your program.
