How do student loan repayments work?
Student loan repayments are deducted automatically from your salary. Plan 2 loans (most graduates from 2012–2023) are repaid at 9% on income above £28,470. Plan 5 (from August 2023) repays 9% above £25,000. Plan 1 repays 9% above £24,990.
What is salary sacrifice?
Salary sacrifice is a scheme where you agree to reduce your contractual salary in exchange for a non-cash benefit, such as employer pension contributions. Because your salary is lower, you pay less income tax and National Insurance, making it a tax-efficient way to save for retirement.
