Loan Origination Calculator ToolEach Direct Loan is subject to an origination fee by the Department of Education. The Origination fee is a percentage of the total amount you will be borrowing and deducted proportionately from each disbursement of your loan. We have constructed this calculator so that you can better understand the origination fee as it will affect the final disbursement amount of your loan.
