  • Each payslip is worked out on its own and rounded down to the pound, so a bonus month can trigger a repayment even if your yearly pay is under the threshold (you can ask for a refund).
  • If you have more than one undergraduate plan, the plan with the lowest threshold is collected first, at 9% of pay over that threshold.
  • Repayments are worked out on pay that counts for National Insurance, so salary sacrifice lowers them.
