Budget Planner Update Please

Brandonthebrill

I noticed that the excel budget planner in the banking saving screen only involves the old system of student loans (pre 2012) could you put a more up to date version for current students on the new scheme please.


Thankyou :j

Probably the best thing in the immediate term is if you use this student finance calculator. I don't think the government maintenance loan and grants have changed much, if at all, since last year. The only thing that has changed (invariably in the students favour) is the amount of bursary that the university will give them if they are from a low income background (usually defined as <£25k household income). You'll have to look on each university's website to see the details about that one though.
