Student Loan Repayment Calculator UK

Estimate Plan 1, 2, 4, 5 and postgraduate repayments.

How student loan repayments are estimated

The calculator compares your repayment income with the threshold for each selected loan. Plan 1, Plan 2, Plan 4 and Plan 5 use 9% of income above the relevant threshold. Postgraduate loans use 6% above the postgraduate threshold and can be added alongside an undergraduate plan.

One undergraduate plan

If you have more than one undergraduate plan, payroll normally uses the lowest relevant threshold for the undergraduate deduction. This tool asks for one undergraduate plan to keep the estimate easy to check.

Why payslips can differ

Weekly and monthly payroll thresholds, bonuses, overtime, multiple jobs, refunds and Self Assessment can make real repayments differ from a simple annualised estimate.
