SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Want to calculate how much you could owe in student loans after graduating from a particular college? A new government website provides tools to help with the math.

The site, by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, is in the testing phase but already includes information from 7,500 colleges and universities.

Users can plug in details such as grant and scholarship offers to compare what they might owe after attending different schools. The site also offers information on graduation and student-loan-default rates.

A "military benefit calculator" function allows the nation's more than 2 million Iraq and Afghanistan veterans to determine what they could owe after using their GI Bill benefits.

It can be found at http://www.consumerfinance.gov/payingforcollege/costcomparison.

The site is the latest effort by the federal government to make colleges and universities more open about costs.

A separate Education Department website — http://collegecost.ed.gov — also addresses college cost, with information such as the rate of tuition increases at colleges.

The bureau says student-loan debt has reached $1 trillion, surpassing credit-card and auto-loan debt. Graduates owe on average about $25,000.
