When Do I Pay Back My Student Loan?

When taking out a Student Loan in the UK, you will only ever start paying back your loan from the first April after you graduate, and only when you earn above a certain amount. This is called the Student Loan Threshold.

What Is The Student Loan Threshold?

UK Student Loans are not treated like private debts. Loan repayments are taken directly from your pay, a bit like a tax. They are only deducted from your wages, once you meet a minimum earnings threshold. As payments are worked out based on your income, they will increase and decrease as your wages increase and decrease.

The Minimum Earnings Student Loan Threshold

  • Plan 1: £388 a week, £1,682 a month, or £20,195 a year

  • Plan 2: £524 a week, £2,274 a month, or £27,295 a year

  • Plan 4: £487 a week, £2,114 a month, or £25,375 a year
