Updated interest rates and repayment thresholds for student loans announced
The latest annual update to Student Loan interest rates was made last week by the Department for Education.
Different rates and thresholds apply depending on the type of student loan and the new rates will apply from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025.
Those running payroll may want to be aware that the rates are changing in case of queries from staff with student loans who notice a change in their deduction in their September pay packet.
