What this means for you
On £35,000, your monthly repayment depends entirely on which plan you're on. Plan 4 (Scotland) and Plan 1 (oldest plan) have the highest thresholds, so you'll pay the least there. Plan 5 (newest plan) has the lowest undergraduate threshold at £25,000.
Remember: these monthly amounts are deducted automatically through PAYE alongside your tax and National Insurance. You don't need to do anything — your employer handles it once HMRC tells them which plan you're on.
