Student Loan Calculator UK

This page is a guide to UK student loan interest rates for 2026/27, with a rate breakdown by plan (Plan 1, 2, 4, 5 and Postgraduate), how interest is calculated and the 6% cap on Plan 2 and Postgraduate loans. People land on it searching for current student loan rates, and it argues that for most borrowers the rate matters less than the repayment threshold and the write-off date.

UK graduates and current students with student loans who want to understand rates and repayments, plus some parents and early-career workers checking their deductions.

A mention would suit consumer finance brands aimed at UK graduates, such as budgeting apps, salary or pension tools, savings and ISA providers, or independent financial guidance services. It would read most naturally near the sections on monthly deductions and what to focus on instead of total balance, but the page is informational and anxiety-driven, so overtly promotional or borrowing-focused products would fit poorly. Note that the data shows only 25 organic clicks in 28 days against 1,746 AI answer impressions, so direct click traffic is low.
