Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a plan to take on college affordability, and she’s trying to put it in real terms for voters.

Last month, the Massachusetts Democrat unveiled her proposal to wipe out up to $50,000 in student loan debt and make tuition free at public colleges and universities. And while the majority of voters may be past the age at which they are likely to take advantage of tuition-less college, the 2020 presidential candidate has a tool highlighting the potential “tangible impact” of the loan forgiveness part of her plan.

Warren’s campaign released an online calculator Friday that tells users how much of their student debt would be canceled if her proposal becomes law.

The interactive tool prompts individuals to provide basic information about their situation: Do you have student loan debt? What type of school did you go to? How much debt do you still have? How much did you earn in income last year?

According Warren’s campaign, approximately 75 percent of those who answer “yes” to the first question will be greeted with the news, “YOU’LL BE DEBT-FREE!”
