Maintenance Loan Calculator 2026/27

This page is a calculator that estimates a UK student's 2026/27 maintenance loan from their living situation (at home, away outside London, away in London) and household income, showing the annual amount, per-term split and how far income reduces it. People land on it when searching 'maintenance loan calculator' to work out how much living-cost funding they will get, and it links on to tuition fee, repayment and payment date tools.

Prospective and current UK (England) full-time university students and their parents, researching how much living-cost funding they can expect.

A mention would suit student-focused money products such as student bank accounts, budgeting apps, student accommodation or contents insurance, and cashback or discount services, especially ones that help cover the gap between the loan and living costs. It would read most naturally beside the result and 'What this means' section, where the page notes families are expected to cover a shortfall, or in the 'Next step' links; it is a poor fit for unrelated brands or anything that competes with Student Finance.
