PayBreakdown - Salary Calculator & Budget Manager

Student loan repayment calculator

Estimate how UK student loan plans and postgraduate loans affect salary take-home pay.

What this page helps with

Student loan deductions can materially change monthly take-home pay. The salary calculator lets you choose the relevant plan and add a postgraduate loan toggle so the deduction is visible in the breakdown.

Frequently asked questions

Can I model postgraduate loan repayments?

Yes. The student loans section includes a postgraduate loan toggle that can be combined with the selected student loan plan.

Which student loan plan should I choose?

Choose the plan shown by your loan provider or payslip. The source page links to GOV.UK repayment guidance so you can check the current rules.
