tl;dr Income is calculated post-401k contribution, so max your 401k in the month you use to certify income

The income-based programs allow you to use a paystub to certify income and use taxable income to estimate your income.

What I did was max out my 401k one month: I make $14.5k/month (paid monthly), and Vanguard maxes out at 75%, so put up about 10k into my 401k, leaving my monthly income as ~$4.5k. I submitted this paystub to the loan servicer and now have a ~$200/mo payment.

This is 180 because even if I go the entire 25 years, it doesn't come close to my total loan value. Also, time value of money and I also expect further loan relief. Worst case scenario I get rich and have to pay back my loan.

Actually it's incredibly prestigious to let the government pay hundreds of thousands on your behalf and then stiff the government on the repayment.

it's not a loophole. you're supposed to report material changes in your income. you don't think that your income going up by 300% the next month is a material change?

You misunderstand this checkbox on the income certification form.

I ALWAYS check the "my income has significantly changed" box so that they let me use paystubs to calculate income instead of tax returns.

You only have to certify once a year. You have the option of certifying again (say if you lost your job or similar), but are not required to. Hilariously, if your income changes upward, you still can pay the lower rate the rest of the year. Income based repayment is a "heads I win, tails you lose" program.

They are cracking down on income based repayment fraud, luckily they are getting at the dumb goyim who claim 30 dependents: https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/wireStory/feds-find-potential-fraud-student-loan-repayment-plans-64575667

Still riding this loophole, but currently have $0 payments for the next year because I had a brief lapse of employment and recalculated income during this period lol.

This works if your annual income contains a large bonus every year. It makes sense as well because you can’t guarantee you’ll have a giant bonus next year so you certify based on your lower income like you would on child support

More POWERFUL hack: lose your job and get on unemployment. Update/recertify your income using your unemployment checks as your basis. Enjoy like a $30/month payment for a year. Rinse and repeat as needed. Thanks libs!
