Question: how much do you need to earn to pay your student loan back?
Answer: You pay back 9% of your income over the Plan 1 threshold (£372 a week or £1,615 a month). If your income is under the Plan 2 threshold (£511 a week or £2,214 a month), your repayments only go towards your Plan 1 loan. If your income is over the Plan 2 threshold, your repayments go towards both your loans.
