Why am I making student loan repayments?
You have to make repayments on your student loan when you earn above a certain threshold.
For most people, this threshold is £24,990 (or £2,082 per month / £480 per week). If you started your course on or after 1st September 2012 and lived in England or Wales at the time, your threshold is £27,295 (or £2,274 per month / £524 per week).
Above that amount, 9% of your earnings go towards loan repayments.
If you’re making repayments but don’t think you should be, it’s best to get in touch with the Student Loans Company directly.
