Because I’m bored though, I’ll humor you.

Total direct loan forgiveness (not counting repayment pauses during covid or other relief measures): $167 billion

Total US outstanding student loan debt: $1.77 trillion

Total US outstanding student loan borrowers: 42.8 million

Average student loan debt per outstanding borrower: ~$40k (same source as above)


Total percentage of debt cancelled: 167m/1770m = 9.4%

Average debt relief per person: $3,900 (!)

So yes, it’s paid for multiple months worth of rent, and relieved about 10% of everyone’s debt on average! Better than I expected.
