ADVANCE LEARNER LOAN
- Open to learners aged 19+
- Repayments start once you're earning over £26,575 a year
- Once you're earning £26,575 you will pay back 9% of your earnings, before tax
- Eligibility does not depend on your household income and there is no credit check!
How Repayments are Calculated
- Take away £26,575 from your annual salary before tax work out 9% of the remainder
- Divide that figure by 12
- Round down to the nearest pound
For example, if you were earning £27,575
£27,575 + £26,575 = £1,000
9% of £1000.00 = £90.00
£90/12 = £7.50
So rounded down your monthly repayment would £7.00
The interest rate on your Advanced Learner loan will vary and depend on the UK Retail Price Index. The rate is calculated at RPI plus 3%.
