At what levels does income affect student LOAN amount??

I currently get student finance.
Have it on a £0 household income basis, and so my payment breakdown sheet shows the following-
Maintenance Grant= £3,250
+
Maintenance Loan not based on income= £3,575
Plus Maintenance Loan based on income= £2,672
Minus loan replacement with grant= £1,625
Equals loan available to you= £4,622
The total amount we will pay to you= £7,872
But my question is that if my income was given as £400 per month (£4,800 per year) would i lose any money from either the loan or grant??
If so by how much?
And where can i find an online calculator that i can adjust to see how itd affect me?
As i cannot find anything that clearly states how the ''plus loan based on household income'' is workedout.

Are you assessed as an independent student?0

Yeah ive used that calculator already, however that doesn't specify how my loan amount would be affected if i had that monthly income added onto my file.0 -
If you're a single, independent student with an income of £4,800 pa then this won't have any affect on your loan/grant.
