How this is worked out

Income above your plan's threshold is charged at the plan's rate: 9% for Plans 1, 2, 4 and 5, and 6% for a postgraduate loan.

Worked example

  • Annual income £35,000
  • Plan 2, threshold £29,385

(35,000 − 29,385) × 9%

£505.35 a year, about £42.11 a month

Assumptions and limits

  • An annual estimate. Payroll deducts against a weekly or monthly threshold, so irregular pay gives a different total.
  • Only the plan you select is calculated. Someone repaying an undergraduate and a postgraduate loan pays both.
  • Interest and the outstanding balance are not modelled, so this does not say when the loan clears.
