The income levels on your Income-Based Repayment Schedule are based on a number of objective criteria to determine reasonable income targets for graduates of your school program working in the intended occupation. This includes information provided to us by your school, from previous graduates of your program, and from publicly available sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Although we cannot determine exactly what income you will make after graduating – that is up to you and your future employer – we have tried to make reasonable income target levels based on similar wages in your field and area.
