Government of Canada Student Assistance Estimator Tools
The Government of Canada's student financial assistance program's estimator tools are hosted on the student aid website. The exact formulas for calculating student loans can vary a great deal from province to province, so Nova Scotia Student Assistance cannot assume any responsibility for the accuracy of these estimator tools for Nova Scotia students.
The loan repayment estimator allows you to input the amount you have borrowed and estimate your monthly payments, depending on how long it will take you to repay.
If you are having trouble making your loan payments, the repayment assistance plan can help you determine whether you might be eligible for repayment assistance.
