STUDENT LOANS

 

Repaying the loan

 

Most of the time, this happens automatically.

If you get a job that pays over £15,000 each year, repayments are taken out of your wages at the same time as your tax and National Insurance (either each month or each week). The Student Loans Company will let you know about this before it happens, and if you earn less than £15,000, you won't pay anything.

Repayments don't start until the beginning of the tax year (6 April) after your course has ended. Your employer will take care of the paperwork, and you will only pay 9% of any money you earn above the £15,000 threshold.

 
Interest rates: Like all loans, there is some interest on a student loan. However, it's lower than the rate you would normally pay to a bank or building society.
