Frequently Asked Questions

How do multiple student loan plans work together?

When you have multiple loan plans, you repay each one simultaneously once you earn above their respective thresholds. For undergraduate loans, you pay 9% of income above the threshold, and for postgraduate loans, you pay 6% above £21,000. This means you could pay 15% of your income above certain thresholds.

Can I have both Plan 2 and Postgraduate loans?

Yes, many students have both Plan 2 (or Plan 5) undergraduate loans and Postgraduate loans. You'll make repayments toward both loans simultaneously through your salary.

Do I make separate payments for each loan?

No, all student loan repayments are automatically deducted from your salary by your employer. The Student Loans Company then allocates your payment across your different loan plans based on their respective thresholds and rates.
