Understand total_paid vs total_cost

total_paid is the sum of all monthly payments a borrower will make on a loan's current Repayment Plan over its lifetime.

With Income-Driven Repayment plans, there is sometimes a "tax bomb" at the end of their repayment term—any outstanding balance is forgiven, but treated as taxable income. Thus, total_cost provides the sum of total_paid plus the taxes owed on that forgiven amount (which is calculated and provided in the amount_forgiven and estimated_tax_liability properties). In other words,total_cost is the bottom line amount a borrower will pay to dispense of their loan on its current Repayment Plan.
