The interest rates on Direct Consolidation Loans are based on this calculation: The weighted average of the interest rates of the federal student loans being consolidated, rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of one percent. It sounds more complicated than it really is. The following example shows how the calculation is made. Current federal loan balances: $5,000 loan at 3.4%; $7,500 loan at 6.8%; $10,000 loan at 6.8%; The interest rate on the Direct Consolidation Loan would be: ($5,000 x 3.4%) + ($7,500 x 6.8%) + (10,000 x 6.8%) Ã· ($5,000 + $7,500 + $10,000) = 6.04%. This would be rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of one percent, or 6.13%. $5,000 loan at 3.4%: $50.00.
