  household income

• Based on income of household
  where the student

• Step parents/partners’ incomes
  are included in household
  income

• Assessed based on prior financial

     Start to repay once:

     • You’ve graduated

• You’re earning above £25,725

     You will repay 9% of
  everything you earn above
           £25,725

Repaying Student Loans

          • If you move or work overseas, repayments will still be taken

     • After 30 years of repaying, whatever’s left over is written off completely

      • You will only ever repay from when you’re earning above £25,725

                                                                        @EHUoutreach
Repaying Student Loans
                     Scenario 1:
 Student debt £20,000. Your earnings £31,000. Your
             annual repayment is £475.

                     Scenario 2:
 Student debt £50,000. Your earnings £31,000. Your
             annual repayment is £475.

                    Scenario 3:
  Student debt £1 billion. Your earnings £31,000.
            annual repayment is £475.

  Students should see this as a 9% higher tax
                        rate

  ‘Student loans' is a misnomer - elsewhere similar
 schemes are called a 'graduate contribution' system.
             We should call it this too.’
