Repaying your student loan
Will I be able to afford it? Student Loan repayments are calculated based on what you can afford – not what you owe You pay back tuition fee loans and maintenance loans, but not until you’re earning above the repayment threshold. • The repayment threshold is £25,000
YES
• Repayments are 9% of your salary OVER the repayment threshold • Repayments are taken directly from your wages if working in the UK This applies to students starting their degree in 2023
How do I repay? If your earnings drop below the threshold, your payments will pause The loan is written off after 40 years, regardless of how much you’ve repaid Interest is the Retail Price Index (a measure of inflation)
Annual income
Monthly repayment

This applies to students starting their degree in 2023.
In summary Student finance is the funding available to cover the cost of your time at university Two loans available: Tuition Fee Loan covers tuition fees, Maintenance Loan helps with living costs These are repayable (direct from your salary when earning over the repayment threshold, £25,000) The extra funding available for healthcare students is non-repayable
