  • how does the math work on this?

    If you have a combined student loan with two line items:

    $38,452 @ 3.5%
    $12,451 @ 8.5%

    Assuming you never pre-pay, and all your payments are applied proportionally against each loan--like if you pay $50, 38 goes to the first loan and 12 goes to the second--

    What is your true combined interest rate over the loan period?

    I found my answer here:

    Average Interest Rate Calculator

    Turns out itthe combined interest rate is 4.66%.
