Repaying your student loan

• 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)
