Terms of Use

Last updated: 21 February 2026


Educational Purpose Only

This tool is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is designed to model and compare different repayment and investment scenarios under user-defined assumptions.

Not Financial Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes financial, tax, or investment advice. The calculator produces estimates based on the assumptions you provide. You should not make financial decisions based solely on the output of this tool. If you need personalised advice, please consult a qualified financial adviser.

Estimates and Assumptions

All figures produced by the calculator are estimates. They rely on assumptions about future salary growth, investment returns, inflation, interest rates, and tax rules — none of which can be predicted with certainty. Actual outcomes may differ significantly from the projections shown.

Rules May Change

UK student loan terms, repayment thresholds, interest rates, and write-off rules are set by the government and can change at any time. Tax rates, ISA allowances, and pension rules are also subject to change. This tool reflects our best understanding of current rules but may not always be up to date.

No Warranty

This tool is provided "as is" without any warranty, express or implied. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any calculations or information presented. Use of this tool is entirely at your own risk.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for verifying any information before acting on it and for any financial decisions you make. We accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of this tool.
